Book Suggestions

Students may offer suggestions for books by emailing Mrs. Rouse or Ms. Ouzts, or by giving the written information to Mrs. Judd at the circulation desk.  Please include the title and author of the book.  The addition of suggested books depends on many things, and we will accommodate students requests when possible.

Morning News Show

Students who would like to work on the Morning Show must submit an application.  Only fifth graders are invited to participate on a Morning Show crew.  The following jobs make up the crews:  Director/Computer Tech, Anchor, Pledge Leader, Words of Wisdom, Camera, and Sound tech.  Rising fourth grade students may apply during the Leadership Job Fair in the spring for the following school year.

Makerspace

Classes are allowed to access our Makerspace corner after they earn 5 library rewards.  In short, the Makerspaces offers students the opportunity to experience self-directed hands-on learning. Students are encouraged to create tangible objects and learn through real-life experiences involving collaboration, trail-and-error problem solving, strategy, and resilience.
