At WBSD, our educators are passionate about introducing students to captivating stories. Ms. McKenna Mahoney, 5th Grade Teacher at Woodhaven Upper Elementary, shares her enthusiasm for a unique dystopian novel.
🔦 Ms. Mahoney: The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
"I love how engaging and unique this story is," she said.

At WBSD, our educators are passionate about sharing stories that inspire and teach. Mr. Dave Messner, 6th Grade ELA & Social Studies Teacher at Woodhaven Upper Elementary, shares his favorite read.
🔍 Mr. Messner: Holes by Louis Sachar
"Even though the book has been around for a while, I recently read it with my daughter. I love how it's kind of two stories combined into one, and how each story eventually "meets" at the end for a surprise conclusion to the book. I also really like how the novel emphasizes the themes of friendship, integrity, and being true to yourself."

At WBSD, our educators love sharing their favorite books with students! Mr. Hool, 6th Grade Geography at Woodhaven Upper Elementary, is taking us on a nostalgic journey with his all-time favorite read.
🚀 Mr. Hool: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
"As an ’80s/’90s video game-obsessed child, this book transported me back to the era of coin-operated arcades, the Atari 2600, and the birth of the NES. Join Wade Watts as he traverses the Oasis—a virtual world only limited by your imagination—in search of the ultimate prize. I’ve read it multiple times and can’t wait to read it again!"
