THANK YOU, PTSA!  We love the books and AR quizzes!

The students, staff, and especially Ms. Ketcham, the librarian, would like to thank the PTSA for their generous donation of money to the library.  We have purchased books to go with science and social studies units and over 370 new AR quizzes.  Both the books and quizzes are already in use!

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!

Many thanks to Diane Towe, Kay Duncanson, Kim Winward, Jolanda Dubbledam, and Joe Locher for their many hours of help in the library.  These giving people have been helping us process new books, discard old books, as well as helping students at the circulation desk!

Thank you!

WELCOME!
