Welcome to the Media Center
A little information:
The media center operates on a flexible schedule.
After attending an annual orientation program, students will visit
the media center with many different classes for research projects, multimedia
presentations, booktalks and a variety of reading activities. Students may also
visit during homeroom or lunch to borrow books or to work on assignments.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Raymond
