The book Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks was a thrill ride! With your thoughts changing from one explanation to another, it is by far a heart pounding page turner that will keep you curious from beginning to end.
In Safe Haven, a young woman named Katie roams into a new town. Trying to tone down her presence, she still can't help but attract a very handsome man named Alex. As she learns about her new small town, she realizes soon enough that secrets can't be hidden, which makes her want to hide for some mysterious reason…but why? Katie pushes through letting her walls down while she enjoys Alex's and his family's friendliness. She finds herself another friend, Joe, who, oddly, seems to remind her of herself more than she expected. Will letting her guard down hurt her in the end as she tries to run away from her past? Or will she have to trust Alex and Joe through it all? This great read by a New York Times bestseller was recently made into a movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal, due to be released in 2012.

Ms. Pattie Birdsall’s Kindergarten class at Bellingrath Hills Elementary recently hosted an apple party in celebrating the letter “A”. Students read Johnny Appleseed as an extending activity. Parents assisted at the Apple Party. Students utilized their 5 senses to explore with apples. Students tasted a variety of apples, strung apple cereal necklaces, sequenced story events, drank apple juice and overall had a great time. Ms. Birdsall and her students would like to thank all of the parents who volunteered by providing time and supplies to make this a memorable and exciting time for all.
