Library News
The Red Cedar Book Club (Grades 6-7) is waiting for news on who has won the award! The Red Cedar Award is British Columbia's Young Readers Choice book award. Red Cedar members are expected to read at least five of the titles nominated in either the fiction or non-fiction category over five months. In May, they voted for the one that they think is the best Canadian book of the year.
Thank you to our Grade 4 and 5 students who chose to participate in the Reading Link Challenge, in collaboration with the Pemberton Public Library! They did a great job of reading as many of the six books as possible and completing a series of quizzes. Our first finishers were Dylan, Tyler and Tayvin! The primary classes have read the Chocolate Lily Award nominees for the picture book category. The Chocolate Lily Book Awards celebrates the talent of BC's children's authors and illustrators. Students voted on their favourite and we just heard that the winner is Sir Simon Super Scarer by Cale Atkinson! Thank you to all interested students from grade 3-7 who participated in the Signal Hill Library's READ 10 CHALLENGE! Congratulations to Marley V. for being the first to complete the READ 10!

Electronic Resources
The Sea to Sky School District has purchased several amazing resources for our students to use when doing research both at school and at home. Our students can now access several Electronic Resources. If you are accessing from the school, no password is required. If you need our password to access the databases from home, see Ms. Benes.
Pemberton Public Library
Reminder to all of the amazing resource that is our Pemberton Public Library! We encourage all students and families to check out their terrific selection of eBooks, eAudiobooks, magazines and Tumblebooks! For most of these, but not all, you need a library card which requires a parent/guardian to email or call the library to get a card number. Ms. Benes strongly encourages all Signal Hill students to have their own card at the Pemberton Public Library!
