Schools Out For the Summer!


Congratulations everyone!  It's officially Summer!!!  (Well, at the end of this school day, it's really official).  It's hard to believe that we have arrived at the last day of school.  Where did the year go?  Today is bitter sweet as I close one chapter and open the next.  After twelve, yes 12 years of teaching (in the classroom and Library), I've decided to stay home with my young children full time.

As I look back and reflect on all the amazing learning and growth over the past year (and years past), I'm reminded that its not always about the end destination, but the journey.

Thank you to the students and families that have walked through the Library doors throughout the past two years.  Thank you to the parent volunteers who helped check in (and out) hundreds and thousands of books.  Thank you to my colleague who shared her love of literacy and learning and inspired me to strive for new challenges.  Thank you to the staff and teachers who supported the Library and helped kiddos return books.  Thank you to my family for putting up with my "addiction" of buying books.

I'm excited for this new adventure and wish everyone a happy and safe Summer!
