Some 8th grade Library Club members staying afterschool to help plan the 8th grade Legacy project for the new Library. We are really going to miss this crew!

March we were feeling lucky in the library. Lucky to have so many amazing new books to check out! Stop by and take a look!

6th grade lunch in the Library!! Get a pass and stop by to do puzzles, crafts, LEGOS, draw, read, do homework, or relax. Hope to see you there!!

STREAM club putting final touches on their Winter Olympic Lego Village!! We lost some time with a snow day, but they are working hard! It will be on display soon!

Some 8th grade regulars hanging out at lunch in our temporary Library space in Room 301. Come up at lunch to play board games, puzzles, crafts, “Maker,” to do homework or just hang out!! What am I going to do without my 8th grade regulars next year??

Mrs. Simonetti and Miss Avery’s 7th grade Advisory classes enjoyed some munchkins, games and crafts to celebrate the holidays. We have such a polite and kind group of students. Happy holidays to all!!

Making the most of our time in our temporary Library on the 3rd floor while renovations continue. Library club has made so many decorations and the holiday season is in full swing. We can make a library community wherever we are!! ❄️❄️

It was a pleasure to chaperone the 8th grade field trip to Top Golf this week! We have some talented students and we had some laughs!

Building and testing our pumpkin catapults in STREAM Club. We have a few categories to test, such as accuracy and distance. Next week we test with our candy pumpkins!! And a surprise category will be announced for testing! Stay tuned!

Happy Halloween from 8th grade Library Club!!

STREAM Club inventing Apple Catchers to protect apples from bruising when they fall from a tree. Testing materials and design styles, sharing ideas and reworking. Next week we test!

Our 7th grade regulars hanging out in the Library at lunch. Congrats to Rachel for being Library Club 7th grader of the month!! Always so happy to see this group!

If you haven’t stopped by the Library in Room 301…check out our quote of the day!! Email Mrs. Sim to suggest a quote or come by and write it on the board yourself! All staff & students welcome to submit! Sometimes the right quote can really have an impact on your thinking!

Thanks to all the students who participated in the Student Activities Fair 2025!! Thank you to students in Library, Newspaper and STREAM club for representing and talking to new members!! We’re lucky to have you!!

The Student Activities Fair was underway today in the auditorium (since Library is undergoing reno). Great to see students representing the three clubs I facilitate interacting with 6th graders & sharing their passion. Reminder…tomorrow period 4 only! *Connor…don’t forget!

8th grade Library Club created this board to highlight the qualities of a good friend. All students are welcome to stop by the Library to add their leaf and name! All materials needed are in the Library! #goodfriend #libraryclub

The Library exists wherever we celebrate reading, creativity and community. Our new 6th graders visited the temporary Library at lunch and I was glad to meet them!

During library renovations, don’t hesitate to stop by room 301 and check out our temporary space. Make copies, use the postermaker, make crafts, create in our Maker corner, do homework, and much more!! Welcome back to all!! #librariesmatter

It has been a busy spring! Here are some photos of Mr. Cozzolino’s Great Food Truck Race competition. Being a judge has tasting perks and these students did a wonderful job! Congrats Bayside Burgers! Real world STREAM! So good!

Interesting! For research a teacher & librarian do a baseline project at the beginning of the year…then identify if what that student does down the road shows improvement for THAT student. Plus the importance of conferencing during the process…meets everyone where they are.
