Parents: Can You Spare an Hour or Two a Week?
If so, the Media Center needs you! We are in need of parent volunteers to organize and shelve books, get new materials ready for checkout, and help the Media Center run smoothly. You can plan a time that fits your schedule, come with a friend, or just stop by when you have some free time. Your assistance allows us to focus on teaching, providing a stronger library program for your students. We value our volunteers! |
"Studies show that when interesting and comprehensible books are available, young people read them, and that self-selected reading results in profound development of literacy, including vocabulary....Students who have read extensively from series such as "Fear Street," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," and "The Hunger Games" will have a much easier time with a New York Times editorial than those who have not done so."
-- Stephen Krashen, Professor Emeritus, University of Southern California
