All-Middle School Read Announced!

We are pleased to announce the Mr. Mick Cochrane, author of The Girl Who Threw Butterflies, will visit Blanchard and Stony Brook Middle Schools on Thursday and Friday, October 18 and 19, 2012 respectively. Students are asked to read The Girl Who Threw Butterflies prior to his arrival in mid-October. Students will also be participating in activities in school during the fall that involve the book in anticipation of his arrival, and students may write a short essay if they are interested in working on a "Writing Workshop" with Mr. Cochrane. Over the summer, students are encouraged to visit this website to engage in conversation and respond to blog posts about the book. There will be a book order, with proceeds going to help support the PTO, which is funding Mr. Cochrane's visit this year. Information to order will be posted here and on the Stony Brook Website: http://sb.westfordk12.us Please contact Steve Guditus, Stony Brook Assistant Principal, with any questions: 978-692-2708 sguditus@westfordk12.us
