Tennyson Middle School

A message from Mrs. Cannon:

Thank you for supporting our Library this year. Our students have read 10,353 Books!!!

Students can continue reading all summer long! They have access to books in a different format--our entire digital collection is available on an app called SORA.
We have thousands of ebooks, audio books, and read-alouds on this platform. This includes our entire collection of Manga. Students are limited in what they are able to access, based on their grade level. Currently our students access this app through their student chromebooks. At home, with your permission, they can access it through a computer or any mobile device.

The flyer below will guide you so that you may help your student access SORA and how to use it at home.
Mr. Amende, the Librarian at Waco High put together a nice video showing how to use all of the cool features in SORA.

It is my hope that our students continue reading all summer long, because readers are leaders!
--Mrs. Cannon

Keep Reading This Summer! 📚

Encourage your student to read 30 mins a day — if they can’t get to the public library, they can read on SORA, our digital library with ebooks, audiobooks & Manga—filtered by grade level!

SORA is available through CLEVER at home (with your permission) on any device.

Thank you for being proactive, compassionate, and intentional in the lives of our students. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and Tennyson is better because of each of you.

We hope you all have a blessed, restful, and safe summer break. Thank you for another amazing school year!

What a WONDERFUL way to end the school year! From Funday festivities, karaoke, water slides, snow cones, and so much more the memories made will last a lifetime. We proudly concluded the year celebrating our amazing 8th grade graduates!
