Today we’re celebrating our incredible School Librarian/Media Specialist, Mrs. Baker!
She does so much more than keep our library running—she supports progress monitoring, serves on the testing team, leads extended learning, organizes Literacy Days, coaches our Reading Bowl team, runs the Spelling Bee, troubleshoots endless technology and Chromebook issues, and somehow still manages to check in and out a million books a day AND reshelve them all!
She’s also the creative force behind most of our social media posts (but not this one).
We are so grateful for the heart, dedication, and energy she pours into our school every single day. Today, we were proud to celebrate her with lunch, gifts, and sweet cards from our students.
Thank you, Mrs. Baker, for everything you do to support our students and staff—you truly make a difference!
