1. Interim grades are coming out soon- This means a few things. You should be keeping track of your grades by keeping hand outs and checking Home Access Center. If you don't have a Home Access Center login, don't worry, come see me in the library or email me: bottb@schenectady.k12.ny.us . This is an opportunity to talk to your teachers and use your time wisely! I know I sound like a broken record here, but teachers do not give grades YOU EARN THEM!
2. It's Spirit Week! The days go as follow:
Monday - Character Day
Tuesday - Twin Day
Wednesday - Retro Day
Thursday - Classy Day
Friday - Patriot Pride Day (dress in red, white, and blue!)
3. Scary Story Contest- My scary story contest has started! I have 3 entries already and I hear there are many more to come. Remember, the entries must be turned in by October 24th and they must be typed! Here's the best part- Your English teachers will be giving you EXTRA CREDIT if you hand in a story!

4. Mr. Bott's Book of the Week: The Mockingbirds, by Daisy Whitney: SEE BELOW FOR VIDEO
Some schools have honor codes.
Others have handbooks.
Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds.
Themis Academy is a quiet boarding school with an exceptional student body that the administration trusts to always behave the honorable way--the Themis Way. So when Alex is date raped during her junior year, she has two options: stay silent and hope someone helps her, or enlist the Mockingbirds--a secret society of students dedicated to righting the wrongs of their fellow peers.
In this honest, page-turning account of a teen girl's struggle to stand up for herself, debut author Daisy Whitney reminds readers that if you love something or someone--especially yourself--you fight for it.
