AMS 8th graders explore GENRE!

Officer Kobia from the Blacksburg Police Dept. K-9 unit, reads to HES classes for our Read-A-Thon/Bookolopoly fundraiser. His dog is a Pointer so he is reading a non-fiction book about Pointers.

Last week, it was National Get Out Your Guitar Day. Mr. Holliman, a 4th grade teacher, volunteered during his own free planning time to play for the 3rd grade students during library before we read our book of the day!

AMS 8th graders met in the library to choose their high school courses.

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Kelly Passek for being named Virginia School Librarian of the year. @VAASL Her work as a media specialist provides a showcase for the amazing and important role of school libraries across the state.

I would argue education is not data or curriculum driven and not even student driven. Education is relationship driven. Teachers thrive w/ positive admin relationships & students thrive w/ positive teacher relationships. Relationships drive education.

Happy School Library Month! @Wing is celebrating with us by offering free popcorn with every drone delivered book! Community Partnerships make our School Libraries stronger! @VAASL @mcpsvalibraries

Our lead librarians Dr. Passek and Mrs. Haubner gave a presentation at the School Board meeting tonight which highlighted our role in schools and recognizing April as School Library Month.

Pete the Cat knows where it’s at!

Governor Northam has proclaimed April as School Library Month. The proclamation is available via website (governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/procl…)

Happy School Library Month! Hot off the press from the Legislative and Advocacy Committees is this new VAASL “What is a School Librarian” one pager. We encourage you to make plans to share this with your stakeholders during the month of April.

These kindergarteners were excited to check out new library books today!

Your MCPS Librarians are working together to improve the diversity of our Library collections! @VAASL @markmiear @mcps_va

Good things going on in Montgomery County Elementary schools!
