MESSAGE FROM THE LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER (LMC)
This is a reminder to start looking for any school textbooks. library books, calculators, Chromebooks, and chargers. Many students still have books from previous years. Keep what you still need for current classes, but any items you're no longer using should be returned. All items are due before the end of the school year.
Students, check your school email to see what is overdue. Notices are sent to students every Wednesday and parent notices will be sent every Thursday until the end of the school year. Books can be returned to the library or the return bin outside the main office. Chromebooks, chargers, and calculators should be returned to the library.
Contact Mrs. Pomraning or reply to your overdue notice email, if you have any questions.
LIVEMORE MAY
As we approach the end of the school year, the library is celebrating LiveMore May, a month of reflecting on the positive and negative effects digital devices have on our wellbeing. Every few days for the next few weeks, the library will be posting reflection questions. Stop by the library to answer in person and win a prize, or fill out the Google Form.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses, and best of luck finishing the year strong!
