The Perry High School Student Council will wrap up a book drive next week in conjunction with National Library Week.  The students collected books for the school system’s Read and Feed summer book mobile project.  (Details about the Read and Feed are provided in the PSA shown below.)  Perry High’s book drive resulted in about 500 books to contribute to the project.  

In addition, the high school students used a Web site to identify the level of each book and have labeled and sorted the books accordingly.  A few of Perry High’s students are pictured working on the books.?

Lake Joy Elementary will receive the books to add to the collection.   Rhonda Walters, media specialist, sponsored this project.  Perry High School is located at 1307 North Avenue Drive in Perry.  Dr. Darryl Albritton serves as principal.

About 230 students from 20 Houston County elementary schools came to market Wednesday at the Museum of Aviation.

The second, third and fourth grade students designed their own products for the annual Market Day event.

9-year-old Griffin Peavy from Lake Joy Elementary School made magnets that looked like little bugs. She glued googly eyes on all of them, and placed feathers on some.

Griffin set-up a booth with a sales sign and prices for each magnet.

Her mother Holly helped. She said, "She has learned to market a product and how to sell the product. She learned you have to spend money to make money."

Other students at the show sold "magic" boxes, decorative rocks, jewelry, and other items, in exchange for currency. The students also designed the paper money used to buy their products.
