Saipan Southern High School Students on the Last Song

Saipan Southern High School students will be the first group of students in the CNMI who will be doing a book movie tie-in and actually view the movie at the local theater.

After reading the book and viewing the movie, please answer this final question:

How did the movie reflect the characters and events from your reading of The Last Song?

Saipan Southern High students are the first to watch the movie, "Alice in Wonderland."

Saipan Southern High School students enjoyed reading the book, Alice in Wonderland and Looking Through the Glass by Lewis Carroll. They enjoyed a Friday field trip to the movie theater and have a special screening at the Hollywood theater.

Students enjoyed the colorful and entertaining movie Alice in Wonderland. They also had a t-shirt design contest and the mad-hater's design contest. It was a fun event for the students.

You can see more of the details and pictures when you visit the Saipan Southern High School Library on Facebook.

Saipan Southern High School New Moon Field Trip

The wait is over!!! The New Moon Field Trip is here and I think it was worth the wait. 103 students of Saipan Southern High School had a special screening of the New Moon this morning at 9:00 am. It was a thrill to watch the movie and I love that the students were on the edge of their seats. I especially enjoyed the quick screaming on the ending.

Teen Read Week - It's Coming!

Hello CNMI Teens-
Teen Read Week event is coming. Here in Saipan Southern High School, we have great events in store for you to celebrate reading for fun. The book club is working really hard to have a successful Teen Read Week Event. We have stamping events, "guest" readers from various people from our community and even teachers. Come celebrate with us and keep checking our blog for updates.

Remember, book club meetings in the library, every Tuesday during break. It's a club that you should join if you want to make a difference in your community and keep your interest in reading.

My favorite book that I've read in the Reading Rave booklist is ...

Make sure to give the complete title of your book and the author. Make sure that you have clear introduction, body (reasons for choosing the book), and a conclusion. You have a lot of books to choose from and you have over a week to complete this task. Make sure to check the mechanics of your blog (grammar, spelling, etc.). I hope that you'll continue reading and share your fondness of the books you've read to your friends and classmates. As always, it's been a pleasure to have read with you in this class. Mrs. Sudi Napalan

I am currently reading My Sister's Keeper for my own leisure reading. I love the books written by Jodi Picoult. They make you think and she takes you to a journey on the social issues that we have in our society. I hope you'll pick up one of her books to read in the future. If you are interested, you can start with the Pact, Nineteen Minutes or Plain Truth. The main characters are students your age. Again, happy reading!
