After visiting ten colleges in nine days, the College Run ended on a fun note, with white water rafting on the Ocoee River in Tennessee.

THE GREAT READ: Brother Martin Community of Readers 2009
In continuing to build a sense of family and a love of reading, Brother Martin begins its second annual community-wide reading program. Bayou Farewell, a journalist’s account of life on the bayou in southeastern Louisiana, will be the book assigned to all students, grades 8th through 12th. In addition, we are inviting all faculty members, parents, and alumni to participate in this “community of readers.” Students will be offered activities and projects in classes in the fall that will reward student summer reading. We are contacting the book’s author, Mike Tidwell, to come speak to our student body; we are also planning various enrichment activities as well. Check back for more information on this event. Books will be available for sale at a discounted price at the school’s Bookstore.
(Please note that students enrolled in honors and AP classes will have additional summer reading titles assigned.)
