MEDIA CENTER HAPPENINGS
- If you have items you would like included in the next issue of our printed school newsletter, please email them to Ruth Ann Harris. The Nov/Dec issue will go out before Christmas break.
- There are 6 chromebooks that will remain in the Media Center for daily checkout. Electives teachers, or others who need them may check them out (they are barcoded) and use them for the day with your students. Please return at the end of the day for recharging.
- Kirby Books has left a display with many great gift ideas for Christmas. Come by the Media Center and take a look. He will pick up/deliver on Dec. 14th.
- Please try to hold students accountable for any overdue books they may have. The longer a book is overdue, the more likely it is to be lost. A Media Center isn’t near as much fun without its books!
