8th Annual Celebration of Reading Week 2021

Each year, Hawtree Creek Middle School takes one week out of the year to celebrate the fantastic reading culture we have. Have a look below for some of the great events coming up next week, Monday, January 11 - Friday, January 15, 2021!

This Year's Theme

Reading: Let it Empower You!

At HCMS we always talk about the joys of being a reader but reading also can make us better people. This year, COR Week 2021 is all about how reading empowers us to make changes in our communities and in ourselves.

Scholastic Book Fair

This is the flagship event of COR Week! Even though we are remote, we have a great virtual fair prepared for students, staff and parents.  As always, a portion of all sales will be returned to the school to buy even MORE books for our school libraries.

The fair will be open for 2 weeks – from Monday, January 11 – Friday, January 22 2021.

For more information on how to access the fair, how to set up an ewallet for your child and a sneak peak into some new hot titles, visit our very own HCMS Scholastic Book Fair website at:
