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

Scholastic News Magazines are a wonderful resource for students to learn about current events and non-fiction. Each magazine is grade-level appropriate and are aligned with state standards. Not only do the students get the paper magazine, they also get access to the virtual issue with extra activities, videos, and games related to the issue.

These Scholastic News Magazines will give my students the opportunity to read informational text at their level and engage in non-fiction text.

My library lessons with be more engaging and interesting for each grade with these magazines.
