Don’t miss out on this annual event!

Pay It Forward- Book Adoption

The Sixth Grade Language Arts Department has applied for book approval of Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde, the “Young Readers Edition.”  The story is about twelve-year-old Trevor who is challenged by his social studies teacher to come up with a plan to impact the world.  He develops a “pay it forward” strategy in which an individual does something kind for someone else and then asks them to do the same for three other people.  The book is considered historical fiction since it is based upon the author’s experience of having been helped out of a dangerous situation.

The purpose of requiring the reading of this book is to help students focus on their “charity” argument project in Unit 6,  addressing the schools’ vision for all students: “Igniting a passion for learning and service; Dream, Risk, Achieve,” as well as a foundation for social, emotional learning which is a focus of the District 12 “Elevate” program.

The book will be available at Westlake for you to look at from March 11 – 19, as part of the approval process.  Please feel free to contact your child’s Language Arts teacher with any questions.
