New Reads for the New Year

By: Brianna Heyman

Entering the new year, I have been thinking about what book I will read next. There are many books that I would like to read again, but there are also so many that I would like to read for the first time. I’ve done some research and the list below is what I am determined to get through in 2018.

1. Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
2. Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan
3. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
4. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
5. One Thousand and One Nights Anon
6. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
7. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
8. The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
9. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
10. I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
11. Kissed by an Angel trilogy by Mary Claire Helldorfer
12. Flowers in the Attic series by V. C. Andrews
13. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
14. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
15. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

It is hard to believe but the time has arrived for our 1923 Arlington School Building to be taken down.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to take down the building.

The demolition of the building will begin on Monday, June 22.  Crews will work extended hours to get the building down in a short two-week period rather than a longer two-month period.

For those interested, outside of the construction fence, there will be a pile of bricks where you are welcome to take a souvenir brick.  Bricks will only be available for two weeks and will then be cleaned up.

 

Please mark August 1st at 10:00 am on your calendar for our dedication to the new building.
