Library Overview

Our Library Program is dedicated to ensuring that students have access to well chosen materials that match the curriculum and the interests of our students.

All classes visit the library once a week and may check out books to take home. Students may also visit the library individually throughout the day using classroom passes during the library pass times.

The collection of library books provides for a wide variety of reading and interest levels in both fiction and nonfiction books. Computers for online research are also a part of this modern, well maintained library.

Our library specialist, Mrs. Thorup is available and very experienced in assisting students in choosing the perfect book for their individual needs.  As well, she maintains a variety of monthly displays featuring holidays, academic themes, career choices and cultural events.  You'll also be surprised by some very real hornet's nests (minus the hornets) and copious bird's nests!

The library is also a hub for after school meetings and gatherings.

Squirrel

LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PARADISE


Picture taken by Mrs. Thorup's neighbor, Lanelle Smith

Most of the white squirrels are not albino squirrels, but are squirrels that have a white fur coat, due to leucism, which is caused by a recessive gene found within certain eastern gray squirrels. In such cases, these white squirrels have dark-colored eyes.
