The cost was a nickel for kids and a dime for adults. There was only one projector so while the operator changed the films, he slipped in slides advertising the various merchants wares. Today the theater is a real estate office. text/html 2009-11-16T14:53:50+01:00 http://smsweb.stanwood.wednet.edu http://smsweb.stanwood.wednet.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=488&Itemid=42 Lunch today is turkey gravy with mashed potatoes and green beans, chicken burgers, double corn dogs, chicken nuggets and pizza.

With a combination of students in each grade level, it has been a wonderful opportunity for students to meet other book-a-holics they might not have otherwise known. Readers Workshop is a time for students to gather and read, share, and listen. But that’s not all we do. In the six meetings that we have had this year, we have also previewed new library books, swapped books with each other, performed readers theater, told stories, gone to a movie, and more! Everyone, regardless of reading ability is enthusiastically invited to join us. Whether one is searching for more time to read, a new group of friends, a place to become a better reader, or any combination, Readers Workshop is the place. See the library for more information and a schedule for November December meetings.
