Here We Go Again!

Well, here we are again. The 2012-13 school year is underway and we are excited to begin the year with STAR testing all students in grades 1-8 to see how their reading has progressed throughout the past few months. Beginning of the year testing validates even more to those of us in the literacy community the value of summer reading. Students who spend time reading during the summer seem to have a bit of an edge over those who take a hiatus from books. The 2012-13 year brings with it some new and exciting plans for the library/media center. The year's first big event will be our fall book fair. The fair is Sept. 18-21 and will be held at both North and East Campuses in conjunction with our Grandparent's Day Celebration. In November, we will have our first ever Living Wax Museum. We look forward to our students learning about important figures in history while using their talents in reading, writing, and acting. The big event is scheduled for Nov. 9.

Currently, we are taking orders for our new ECS Library Shirts. The shirts are on sale between now and Sept. 1. Sign ups are located in the ECS copy room. Hope to see many people supporting our library by wearing these shirts.
