Thank you to all who supported our Scholastic Book Fair.  The results were wonderful!  We are able to purchase many more new books and AR quizzes for the Media Center as a result!

A special "Thank you" to our Parent Volunteers who coordinated the effort:  Kent Shelby and Theresea Tipton.  They did an incredible job!  We had a 20% increase over last year--and without conferences!

Lessons: How to Find Books

6th Graders and anyone else who is interested are visiting the Media Center for a lesson on "How to Find Books".  They are learning a bit about the Dewey Decimal System as well.  Students have been doing a Scavenger Hunt at the end of the lesson to test their knowledge of finding books.  These are life skills that they will carry with them throughout their lifetime!
