Specialist Spotlight - Library
Hello! I’m Sarah George and I am the librarian at Broad Street and Upper Allen. In 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade we focus on helping kids be excited about reading. I encourage students to choose books they want to read—the kinds of books that will make them want to read more! At the primary level some students might be able to read their library books independently; some students might need someone else to read their books to them. During students’ library special we also do lessons on research, coding, and digital citizenship. Sometimes I teach lessons with classroom teachers in their classrooms. We might do a STEM challenge, further our knowledge about research, or work together to learn more about how to use an app for learning. Libraries today are a dynamic places and Mrs. Sabatini, our library aide at Broad Street, and I work together to provide the best service possible to Broad Street students, teachers, and families. If you ever have a question for me feel free to reach out on Seesaw or send me an email at sgeorge@mbgsd.org
Lost & Found
Lifetouch Re-take Picture Day
Re-take day is January 11th. We will not be having spring pictures this year.
If your child was absent on picture day, they will have their picture taken the morning of January 11th. If purchasing photos, you may send in your purchase order form along with payment and Mrs. Bradley will hold on to it for picture day.
Once photo packages come in, they will be passed out to the teachers to be sent home. If you need to have your child's photo re-taken, the purchased photo package should be returned and will be given to the photographer on January 11th. You may also send those in to the office ahead of time with a note saying you want to have the picture re-taken. I will hold on to these so that we make sure the photo is re-taken.
