Helias Library/Media Center
December 2016/January 2017
Staff Change for 2nd Semester
I will be taking a medical leave of absence for a few months. While I am away, Mr. Garrett Wiggans will be keeping the library going. Mr. Wiggans is a very familiar face to all of the students at Helias. In addition to being a regular substitute, he is also on the coaching staff. Many thanks to him for his willingness to step in and take care of the library for me. The kids, faculty and staff are in good hands!
Grinchy Greetings
Thanks to the creative genius of the students in my advisory class, our Grinch-themed door won the Christmas door decorating contest in the building! May your hearts grow three sizes this blessed Christmas season!
Research, Research, and more Research
December has been crazy fun and BUSY in the library. Mr. Wyrick's and Mr. Campbell's classes did research projects using both print and electronic resources. AP English students were working on writing and editing research papers. Mrs. Jarman's Business Law class held their final in the library as they debated the issue of drug testing. One of my favorite days of the year---bring a little kiddo with you to school for Psychology day happens each December! We had a library filled with babies, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary students last Friday. Maybe some future Helias students among them? The library is in use all day--every day, and that is a wonderful thing!
Coffee Bar Art!
Check out the new addition to the library coffee bar! Emma B. shared her artistic talents with us to create a beautiful piece of art! "All I need is a little bit of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus!." Thanks, Emma!
Merry Christmas & Many Blessings in 2017
How blessed I am to get to come to work each day at Helias. I hear from colleagues across the state about positions being eliminated and budgets being cut from the libraries in their districts. Our students have the staff support and the materials they need--something many students do not have in their schools. How thankful I am for an administration and greater Helias community that recognizes and values the important role the library plays in the day to day life of the school. We are blessed.
