Media Center Minutes
November 2013
The Book Fair is coming!
Just in time for all your Holiday shopping, the Book Fair will be in the Media Center from Monday, December 2nd until Friday, December 6th, from 7:10 until 2:30. Each purchase supports your Roxbury Media Center - we can get books, supplies, and equipment from Scholastic, so please consider scheduling your class to come down and browse or buy. There will be books available for all levels, from preschool to adult. Since picture books always seem to be a hit, we will make sure there are plenty available.
And as always, we will offer treats with every purchase - always a hit at the Fair!

Facebook app
If you're trying to save battery life, get rid of the FB app on your phone. Even when you're not using it, it is constantly draining your battery. And if you're concerned about privacy issues, you should be aware that the app has access to just about everything on your phone. Delete the app, and log onto FB on your phone using your web browser instead.
