• Greetings Scholars and Parents,

    Welcome to a new school year! My name is Ms. Dennis, and I am excited to introduce myself as the new Library Media Center Specialist. I am thrilled to be part of our vibrant learning community and look forward to collaborating with each of you throughout the year.

    This year, our Media Center is undergoing a transformation aimed at fostering hands-on 21st Century learning. Our goal is to create a dynamic space where students can engage with technology, explore new ideas, and collaborate with their peers. We believe that by providing access to various resources and experiences, we can help develop the life-ready knowledge and skills necessary for success in higher education and beyond.

    In addition to our focus on 21st Century skills, we are committed to helping learners develop their own home libraries. We understand that reading is a fundamental part of learning and personal growth. By encouraging students to cultivate their own collections of books and resources, we hope to instill a lifelong love of reading and learning.

    We invite you and your child to visit the Media Center often. Together, we can explore new books, engage in exciting projects, and discover the endless possibilities that our Media Center has to offer.

    Thank you for your support, and here’s to a fantastic school year filled with learning and growth!

    Warm regards,

    Ms. Dennis
