Please stay tuned for updates on the status of our media center renovation and fun events that will take place over the course of the year. Thank you for taking the time to read this but most importantly, thank you for taking the time to READ period!<br />
<br />
I am anxiously awaiting our new media center. Renovations are underway. It sure was hard to say goodbye to the old one but I am excited about the new beginning. Getting all of the books packed up was loads of fun. The books shelves were removed on the last day of school. It does not look anything like a media center now!<br />
