We hope that you all had a relaxing holiday break and are ready to get a great start to the new year. We are getting ready to receive an order of new books to help us kick off 2023 with some fresh reads. Be sure to stop by the media center to see the new titles to choose from!

We are also starting our Battle of the Books club meetings on the second Wednesday of this month. If you are interested in joining the club for this season, or just want to come see what it's about, stop by E205 on Wednesdays during B lunch.

Did you know that as a student of Marvin Ridge High school, you have access to a wide variety of research databases both through Union County Public Schools and the Union County Public Library? Stop by the media center front desk to learn more about accessing these resources, or visit the database section of our school website!

Did you know that our media center's makerspace is open every Friday during SMART Lunch? A makerspace is a place for students to practice STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) concepts and skills. Students are encouraged to create, explore, design, experiment, build, think-critically, and problem-solve.

Our maker materials got here last month, and we are excited to be offering an opportunity to use all of the maker stations throughout the entire month of January! Stop by to let your creativity flow, practice innovation, or to just relax and have fun while learning a new skill.

Classroom teachers can also sign up for dates and times for classes to visit to allow students time to de-stress before EOCs.
