THE EAGLE READER
Woodlawn Academy Library-- September 2022

Welcome Back to the Library!
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I write this note of introduction to you as Woodlawn Academys' new Digital Teacher Librarian. My educational background experience includes 18 years as a teacher and 10 years as a librarian all completed in SAISD. I'm very excited to share my passion of literacy, Makerspace, and technology with all our students and staff. In doing so, I strive to guide each patron to become a critical thinker, enthusiastic reader, skillful researcher, and ethical user of information. A monthly library newsletter will be sent to all to highlight what is happening in our Eagle Library.
Happy Reading---
Nyree Cavazos
