Give thanks & read: Get November outreach assets on the Resource Center
Tis the season to give thanks – and somehow, it happened in a total flash!
One minute, I was walking down aisles overflowing with fresh school supplies. But all I had to do was blink, and suddenly I’m trying to figure out who’s offering the best price-per-pound on turkeys and how I’ll ever untangle all of my holiday lights (thanks a lot, Past Me, for just dumping them in the container).
You might feel the same way. Just yesterday, it was August, and you were organizing your classrooms and preparing to welcome students back to school. Now, all at once, the year is nearly a third or more over, and it’s time to start thinking about holiday breaks. (I’m sure that’s not an entirely unwelcome turn of events.)
It might seem a little overwhelming to think about all of the things you need to do before checking out for the year – but try not to worry too much. The OverDrive Resource Center has you covered when it comes to getting your students in the mindset to keep on reading in Sora even during time off, with new promotional graphics and outreach kits to cut through the chaos and give you a little time back.
Native American Heritage Month
