Do you enjoy fixing computers? Are you a tech geek? Mrs. Bebout is looking for computer interns to assist her with solving Chromebook issues. If you would like to be a part of the intern team, please see her in the library. You will become a district certified technologist intern! If you are in 8th grade, you can continue your internship and assist with technology at the high school level.
Homework club has started! It will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4:05-5:05 in the Library Media Center. This will be an optional time where students can come, check their IC (or come ready with an assignment), and have time to get work done. There will not be any bus transportation, so students and parents will need to make arrangements for pickup!
