Welcome to the media center where our goal is to inspire a love of reading!

 

Intermediate Center-"For the Love of Reading"

The Intermediate Center will be holding their annual "For the Love of Reading" event on February 14.  We have several fun events planned for the day, including pajama day, a book swap, a door decorating contest, and guest readers in the classroom.

 Pajama Day-Students may wear school appropriate pajamas (P.E. appropriate shoes are required).

Book Swap-Students may bring in up to 10 books they have read and swap them out for more books.  February 6-10 students may bring in up to 10 books that are appropriate for their grade level to swap out.  They will recieve a ticket for each book they bring in.  On February 14, they will bring their tickets to the media center and select a book for each ticket they have! 

Door Decorating Contest-Students will be putting their creativity to work by decorating their classroom door based on the theme of "For the Love of Reading"

Guest Readers- If you are interested in being a guest reader for your child's class, please let the teacher know as they will be scheduling the readers for their class this year!

Parent PI Books

Need some Informational PI Hours?  Read a book!  The Elementary Media Centers offers the following books that you may read and take AR tests on for Informational hours.  I recommend  you read them earlier in the year as they can be hard to find the closer we get to May!
