WELCOME BACK by Ms. Travis

 Hard to believe summer is over and another school year has started.  This is year 25 for me and I feel as excited about this one as I did the first one.  Each year is a new start for each of us.  I have a great bunch of Techsperts and things are already rolling for our first book fair which starts on September  24.  Our theme for the year is Cinema Smash.  This book fair is about vintage books turned into movies.  The kids are learning about reels and what movies/books are vintage.  What is vintage to them is not what I meant.  It is fun watching them learn about them.  They are already planning decorations and such to make the space come alive.

We are also working on cleaning up the Learning Commons. Book shelves are being straightened and inventory of each fiction section is being completed.  The office space is being cleaned and organized as well.  Bulletin boards are being decorated.  We will start other projects as we get through the first few days of school.

iPads for those that paid their insurance will be deployed tomorrow.  The Tech Department will be here to make that happen.  It will take most of the day to get the almost 400 iPads deployed.  That will leave us with close to 300 left.  At this time, I do not have enough space to charge that many iPads.  I hope that some more students pay their insurance and that will help.
