Binding Breakers
A group of students under the leadership of Mrs. Troester have created a website devoted to those who share a love of reading.
BINDING BREAKERS website: http://moourl.com/bindingbreakers
Their mission:
"In a society that finds more value in how students take tests, rather than helping them discover the love of learning: we want to promote the love of reading books.
You can contribute, too! Besides listening to the student-created podcasts and rating the books that you have read, consider creating a "Binding Breakers" podcast yourself. Check out the information at http://ops.esu8.org/~jenniferbauer/BindingBreakers/Contact.html and email your book review to bindingbreakers@gmail.com so the Binding Breakers can publish it on their site.
