Stories from the Specialists

Media Center with Ms. Schaefer

Thank you to all who volunteered for our 2022-2023 Scholastic Book Fair! And, thank you to all who participated, whether in the morning with your children or during Family Night! We had an incredibly successful book fair, both in terms of funds raised and delighted children! Students are already looking forward to next year. 

Our 5th Grade Library Helpers have learned their duties well and can independently check in and shelve books, answer student questions, and organize the library! I have greatly appreciated their help in maintaining such a loved and busy space.

With the addition of our new special, Arts in Motion, students will not be attending Media for specials. Instead, classes will visit once per week to check out books and enjoy the library space. 5th Graders will visit the library in small groups each day during their ALL Block. 

In early February, I will be going on maternity leave. We have a lovely substitute, who has extensive library experience. She will take great care of our students and books! I have enjoyed the love and enthusiasm of our students as they received the news of my growing family. I’ve had no shortage of wonderful name suggestions!

Afterschool Clubs Start Soon

We are pleased to be able to offer these afterschool opportunities through the clubs listed below. If you have questions about registration, payment or attendance, please contact the club organizer. In the event of an early release due to inclement weather, the club will be canceled for the day.

If your child is participating in a club, they will be dismissed from the classroom to the meeting location at the school on that day. Please note that families are expected to communicate with their child's teacher about going to the club afterschool. This is considered a change in transportation, as if you are changing from bus to carpool.
