About
This year, AMS is continuing the Newbery Club for interested 7th and 8th graders. The club will hold discussions online and meet in person every other Thursday afternoon from 3:15 to 4:45 from September until the actual Newbery Medal winner and Honor books are announced by the American Library Association in January 2018.
The AMS Newbery Club was originally founded by teachers Mr. Cummings and Mr. Krajnak in 2004. The first Newbery Club wanted nothing more than to coast into the weekend on a Friday afternoon talking about what they loved best: books! Students discussed and debated the best contenders for the Newbery Medal and voted on their top choice, leaving behind a legacy of excellent choices in children's literature at our school-- regardless of what the actual Newbery Committee picked!
