My Students

There are students in our city, and surrounding counties, who have everything they need. There are students on the other end of the spectrum that are lacking basic supplies. My school, much like our city is a diverse and creative community from all walks of life.

I am proud to be a librarian at a school with students who can learn from one another’s cultural and socio-economic differences, and family make-up.

My school embraces and welcomes all families, making it a true neighborhood school. Our parents give of themselves, our teachers and administration are good people, and our students are our passion.

My Project

I am a new elementary school librarian, and my vision for the library is to be a library learning commons! I want to provide a space that is open, inviting, and stimulating for students to read, collaborate, and engage in creative and exciting activities.

I am asking for colorful, flower-shaped tables to replace the large, bulky wooden tables that are currently in the library.

The circular shape and the indentations of these tables will be much more conducive to students collaborating with each other and engaging with problem solving activities.
