"The MICDS Class of 2015 has an incredibly unique ability to perform 'on camera,' which is the theme for this year's celebration video. Please do two things with this film... First, notice the way your pictures, your video, and your music work together to tell a story. Second, watch this film again at home with a family member and take the time to talk about the eighth grade year that you're just finishing and the high school career you're about to begin." - Mr. DiGiulio, 26 May 2011
This week we've created an extra-long episode for LitFest at the request of the English Department. We'll visit some local independent bookstores, the county library headquarters, and dig up some references to literature in pop culture. Maybe we'll throw in a few interesting "interludes" as well.

This week we pick: our 2010-2011 yearbook (THE PANORAMA), STUCK ON EARTH, SUITE SCARLETT, FLASH, VIRAL, SWIMMING WITH PIRANHAS AT FEEDING TIME, & a bunch of poetry books.
This week we pick THE BIG CRUNCH, a few SHERLOCK HOLMES books like DEATH CLOUD, 3 "March Madness" titles, WHO KILLED WESLEY PAYNE, & a bunch of lax gear.
This wee we picked MATCHED, TYGER TYGER, 3 books related to a 7th grade research project, 1 related to the 8th grade sustainability projects, TRUE GRIT, RETURN OF THE DAPPER MEN, & a lesson in Decoupage art.
