Book Displays

We have a tradition of displaying books to attract the attention of our patrons. Sometimes these displays are of books concerning special curricular topics or specific genres or seasonal or new books the library staff is excited about. We currently have fiction and non-fiction books about Thanksgiving on display in both the Elizabeth Ide and Prairieview I.M.C.s. I am happy to report that these books have been particularly popular. The students seem to agree with me that Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays.

Math-A-Thon 2008


At Elizabeth Ide this week, we will be launching our math-a-thon. This is an opportunity for our students to practice their math skills in a fun way. They can also raise money to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennesee. Research at this place has made a huge difference for children with life-threatening diseases. We have been supporting this worthy cause for over twenty years.
