May the 4th be with you! Yesterday we made perler bead lightsabers and buttons from Star Wars books. @QMSGriffins @RobertLStevens @hcpslib

The competition was fierce this morning in the battle for the Wizarding Cup(cake), but Slytherin House triumphed in the final questions. 🏆 Big thank you to Professor McGonagall (aka Mrs. Corkran) for flying in to host. 🧙‍♀️ @hcpslib @QMSGriffins @RobertLStevens

April is also Poetry Month. Come by the library to see the spine label poems created by Griffins (and make one of your own too.) 📚 @hcpslib @RobertLStevens @QMSGriffins

No matter their house loyalty, Griffins came together yesterday in the name of Harry Potter trivia! Slytherin and Gryffindor triumphed in the semifinals and will face off tomorrow to win the House (Cup)Cake. 💚♥️💛💙 @hcpslib

Everyone who checked out a book last Thurs got a scratch-off ticket with a chance to win a sticker, candy, book, treasure box trip, or gift card!! Bonus: the scratch-off ticket could then be colored & used as a bookmark. #schoollibrarymonth @hcpslib @RobertLStevens @QMSGriffins

QMS library students aides took a field trip to Barnes & Noble where we got a behind-the-scenes tour and each picked out a book to add to the library collection. Once we returned to school, we made the viral #candysalad together. 🤪 @QMSGriffins @RobertLStevens

Congratulations to this Griffin who correctly guessed the number of “bookworms” in the jar. She got the exact number: 117! Watch your Schoology updates next week for more School Library Month celebrations. @hcpslib @RobertLStevens @QMSGriffins

And now we need a new #taylorswift puzzle. 🎶 #thetorturedpoetsdepartment

After weeks of intense competition, the chosen ones have emerged. Tomorrow owls will deliver invitations to the those who have proved their wizarding prowess and earned a spot to compete in the Championship for the House Cup(cake)! 🦉✉️📫 @hcpslib

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the .@QMSGriffins International Night. We’re so appreciative of the donations of food, time, and talents! We look forward to seeing you at Food & Futbol in a few weeks!

QMS is gearing up for International Night with a hallway decorating contest to showcase our diverse representation of cultures and countries. The library is representing Bosnia & Herzegovina, the home country of library assistant, Ms. Avdić. @QMSGriffins @RobertLStevens @hcpslib

These Griffins matched the most selfies to the correct shelfies. The student winner & staff winner will get to enhance their own shelfie w/ a gift card or new book, respectively. Our School Library Month celebrations will continue this week! @hcpslib @QMSGriffins @RobertLStevens

Loved seeing former @QMSGriffins walk the halls today! Lots of hugs & smiles for past teachers and friends 🤗 Congrats c/o 2024 💙 🎓 💛 #SeniorWalk

How well do you know these Griffin readers?!? We’re kicking off School Library Month celebrations with our Annual Selfie to Shelfie Contest. All QMS students and staff are invited to play. Find the link in your Library Schoology Course. @hcpslib

A few photos from our All Henrico Reads event with author @silasdhouse. Thank you for spending time with HCPS students, discussing your life, your work and particularly "Same Sun Here." Hearing the stories behind the book was a special treat and added an even deeper dimension!

Thank you! ❤️ We’re excited to get back after break and share all of the exciting plans we have for April!

Hearing author Silas House speak at All Henrico Reads this morning was a treat for our 8th grade Griffins who recently read his book, Same Sun Here. Thank you to @hcpslib and @henricogives for the opportunity.
