[KVIKS NEWS BULLETIN INTRO]
Good morning Vikings! This is your K-V-I-K-S News Bulletin for Tuesday, August 27th, 2024. My name is Caitlin. The periods today are 1, 3, 5, and 7.
First, here is todayʻs RAGL recommendation!
[RAGL 2]
Hi, I’m Mrs. Frias, Career and College Counselor here at Hilo High School Something good I’ve read lately is Anela’s Club by D.K. Yamashiro. It’s a book that was written from the point of view of a high school student who was going through some difficult life experiences that are similar to many of our own lives.. It was very relatable for me, and it was easy to read. I really enjoyed it, and I think ALL Hilo High Vikings would enjoy this – students, teachers, administrators, and staff.
If you Read Anything Good Lately, give it a shout out right here on KVIKS. And remember . . . RAGL is reading for FUN!
