Welcome back, scholars! I hope you were able to relax and enjoy your summer. My name is Mrs. Box-Barnes and I serve as your Media Center Paraprofessional. As we tackle the virtual learning environment, I am here to provide you with E-Resources that will aid in increasing your reading skills and interests. I believe this school year is going to be outstanding! Hopefully, we will reunite face to face soon. Please remember safety is key and ensure you are attending and staying actively engaged in your virtual courses.
