About The Librarian/Media Specialist

Another school year is ready to begin and I look forward to working with both 
our students and teachers.  I find middle school students are both 
interesting and challenging.  A day seldom goes by that I don't laugh; our 
students are bright and funny. I enjoy their visits to the library immensely! 

This summer I had the opportunity and privilege to work with other school 
library media specialists from around the state.  We discussed the Standards 
for the 21st Century Learner.  These were developed by the American 
Association of School Librarians and have been met with acclaim by educators 
throughout the country. We delved into the details, learned more about them 
and shared ideas for using these standards with our students and teachers.  
You can read about these standards at

Please remember that you can easily contact me by clicking on the mailbox 
icon at the top of the library webpage.  The schoolhouse icon will bring you 
to the LaGrange Middle School home page.  Don’t forget to check out the 
District webpage, too, as there is a great deal of information to be found 
there.  Take some time to browse around.  Among other items, you'll find 
news, reading lists and event calendars.

I’m looking forward to a wonderful year -- reading, learning, and growing 
together.
