Program Highlights All classes attended orientations which involved book care, use of Destiny, hero
theme, star reviews
Our star review program kicked off and multiple students have shared books on
BTV, one student audio-recorded her review, and multiple students filled out star
review sheets to display
Our media center was named Exemplary Elementary Library Media Program for
2010 and Mr. Plemmons, Dr. Sabatini, and Mr. MacMillan attended an awards
ceremony at the state Department of Education in Atlanta.
Mr. Plemmons was named a four star employee for the Clarke County School
District, and the media program was recognized at the August 12th board of
education meeting.
Our media center earned a $1,000 grant from the Foundation for Excellence for a
project called “Leader Librarians”.
We held a webpage workshop for teachers to update their classroom webpages.
We held a teacher preview of the 328 new books arriving in the media center this
month.
