@TLT16 Yes to #4! Our high school students still check out the Wimpy Kid books daily. What else do we have to show them?

We're on a roll with reading in 2023! How about you? What are you reading? Share your recommendations, please! @FirstColonialHS

Congratulations to our 2022-2023 Brickell Scholars, Madi Arluk and Maggie McConnell! @VBGifted @vbschools @mcsulliv13 @MianiD #WeRFC #PatriotPride

Happy Holidays Patriots! #WeRFC @vbschools

Happy Don Phillips Day! We wish Mr. Phillips every joy in his well-deserved retirement. Now quit playing and get back to class! @FirstColonialHS @FCHSPTSA @FirstColonialFB

We are the champions of the door decorating contest! Make sure to visit Starbooks before break so you can “read a latte!” (Aren’t we punny?) Shoutout to Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Barfield for the fabulous design, along with the students who made book page snowflakes! @FirstColonialHS

Overheard in today's Reality Store: "I learned that I need to keep rocking the single life and go to college, or I'm gonna be broke."😀A great simulation for @FirstColonialHS TCE students, sponsored by @LangleyFCU, @BeachMunicipal, and @abnbfcu and coordinated by Ms. Anderson!

Our @FirstColonialHS students amaze me everyday. Today, NHS students, athletes, and musicians brought holiday cheer to Seatack Elementary School sharing their talents and providing each student with a gift! This event exemplifies the @vbschools community. #PatriotPride #WeRFC

It's Friday! What are you reading this weekend?

Congrats Mr. Katt! @MrKattsClass

You ALL slay!! 😃❤️👏

Still thinking about how fun this was!

@JennClementsVB @vblms @FirstColonialHS They are always sad to see them get put away, but now we are on to book page snowflakes, the Snowman Stretch Challenge (remember that?), Keva planks, and our ongoing sticker mosaic. Never a dull moment.

@fchslmc @vblms @FirstColonialHS 👏 Glad to see y’all busted those 3D pens out - an FC student Makerspace fave. I especially love the photo frame/book and the gingerbread man!

Look what fun we're having with our makerspace 3-D pens! We love to see the creativity and problem-solving at work. @vblms @FirstColonialHS

Some of the positive-message bracelets our seniors made for their CCCRI service-learning project. These are going to Toby’s Dream to bring a little joy to children with serious illnesses. ❤️@FirstColonialHS

@LoebDavon Told a kid not to call me bro yesterday. "Oh, my bad, I call everyone that," he said. "Not me," I said.

Congratulations to the First Colonial Choral Ensemble on a wonderful Winter Concert #PatriotPride #WeRFC

@DrTLovesBooks Ideas: Convince teachers to have the kids read in class every day. If you use Destiny, show them how to put books on hold, then deliver them to classes. Do a book popup library and give a piece of candy for every checkout.

OK - My students can't physically visit the library (long story), but my circ was about 10/day for the first 12 weeks or so. Now it's 1-2/day. Anyone have suggestions on ways to drum up business? Maybe I need to start doing some hallway selling on the way to lunch.

Holiday break is coming, which means lots of time to read. You'll never run out of books with Sora! (Audiobooks too!) Read on Chromebook, phone, or Kindle. It takes only a minute to get started. @FirstColonialHS @vblms @OverDriveInc

It's so important for today's teenagers to learn about persuasive techniques in media messages! We love teaching this unit and the products are always amazing. @vblms
