Members of Spinebreakers, we will meet next Monday to complete an end survey on Firekeeper’s Daughter and will begin our next novel, Feed by M.T. Anderson. Anderson’s novel Feed is sent in a future dystopian America, where internet connections feed directly into the consumer’s brain. The plot centers on the unfolding love story between Titus Gray, an average kid on a weekend trip to the moon, and Violet Durn, a brainy girl who has decided to fight the feed. If you would like a free copy of the book, come to the meeting, complete a survey, and then read all about the feed! If you have any questions, see Mr. Thompson, Mr. vonRigler, or Mrs. Terlizzi.

National English Honor Society members. Please be advised that we will hold an officer’s meeting on Wednesday, January 11 and a general meeting on Thursday, January 12 in Mrs. Terlizzi’s room. Please plan accordingly.
