Author/magician Chad Crews performed for our students right before our Thanksgiving break. I think you can tell by the photos that a good time was had by all! He amazed us with his feats of magic and while doing so, also impressed upon our students how important it is to be good readers. I must admit that even after seeing all four shows, I still have NO idea how to do any of his wonderful magic. I guess I will just have to get a book and read up on magic! Our students will be able to do the same, as we sold 100 copies of "So You Want to Learn Magic: The Sequel" by Chad Crews - a record number of books for any of our author visits. We also have several new books about magic in the Media Center that will be available for check out soon!

Welcome Chad Crews!
Continuing our tradition of inviting special performers to our school, we have arranged for popular Magical Educator Chad Crews to visit our school. Chad will present one of his educational assembly programs, the “I Dream of Reading Extravaganza!”
Chad will WOW our students with incredible feats of hilarious magic, comedy and live animals. Students will participate onstage in the magic, witnessing things they never thought possible! Best of all, our students will learn that good readers can learn all kinds of things, meet all kinds of people, and go on all kinds of adventures. We are so excited to be able to bring this special guest to our school!
As a way to reinforce the importance of reading for our students, our school will be selling copies of Chad’s unique book, “So You Want to Learn Magic: The Sequel” which contains lots of amazing magic tricks that are super easy to learn, and the tricks themselves are in the back cover! We encourage you to participate in this exciting opportunity. If you would like to purchase a book for your child, please return the order form that was sent home last week and return it with your child.
Please make checks payable to Brookwood Elementary or you may send cash in the exact amount. The cost is only $10.00 per book! A portion of the book sales go back to our school so that we can have future programs!
(If you can not locate the form, a note with your child's name and their homeroom teacher will do!) All orders should be turned in to the Media Center by Wednesday, November 14th.
We will post pictures after the visit, so be sure and check back later!
