Bookfest Movie-the 33

We had a great time joining all the the other bookfest students in our school district to watch the movie: the 33. This movie was based on the true story of the Chillean miners trapped underground for 3 months in 2010.  This movie was suspenseful and heartwarming! The theatre applauded at the end!   

Bookfest - permission slips due!

We are going to see the movie "the 33" on Monday November 1st.  Please make sure your permissions slips are in by Friday!
This movie is directly related to the book When the Worst Happens by Tanya Llyod Kyi, the author that will be speaking at Bookfest this year.  Should be fun!
