At Bagley Middle School, we’re celebrating Read Across America Week next week, March 2–6! Each day will feature something fun for students to enjoy while celebrating reading. Even in middle school, reading helps students grow their vocabulary, think critically, and explore new ideas — all while having fun! Our goal is to show students that books can be exciting, inspire curiosity, and remind them that reading is a skill that will take them far.
Today a Bagley Blazer Reader, tomorrow a Murray County Leader!

The Scholastic Book Fair is rolling into the Blazer Library early—starting Wednesday, November 5th!
Students will have the chance to shop through Friday, November 14th during homeroom, lunch, or with teacher permission. Please note that sales include tax, and we round to the nearest dollar to donate to Share the Fair, a program that helps give students a chance to get a book—even if they might not otherwise have the opportunity.
This year, our goal is to purchase a CoLibri e-DaVinci book covering machine, which will double the life of our library books and help us protect our collection for years to come. The cost is $1,899.99, and we’ve already raised $797.04—every book fair purchase helps us get one step closer!
Check out our Book Fair Homepage, set up an eWallet for easy shopping, or contribute directly through our Share the Fair donation link below!
