Welcome to the Labrary!

     If you didn't know, we have a pretty cool library and tech lab...nicknamed the Labrary! 
     Miss Cooke is working hard to make the Labrary relevant to all students, and this is where you will be able to check in to find out:
  • Upgrades and updates
  • Upcoming events
  • Anything  else you need to know...more info coming soon!

Screen-free Saturdays!

     Hopefully, you read the echo last week and realized that we are promoting Screen-Free Saturdays in May!

     Here are some resources to get your whole family away from their screens and doing things together:

Labrarium Laboratory

     A makerspace is coming! A makerspace is simply that...a place with materials and room for students to create whatever they want. This will be an area where kids can build/design/invent as they want.
​     As we move classrooms around and the learning center relocates, the Labrary is expanding into Mrs. Harner's old room...which means we will have a makerspace!
     You know all those things you never throw out but haven't found a use for? Now you have! Here are some of the things I will be collecting:
  • ​various kinds of paper and cardboard
  • scotch-, duct-, and masking-tape
  • origami paper
  • glue
  • modeling clay
  • craft supplies--
    • ​pipe cleaners
    • pom poms
    • googly eyes
    • yarn/sewing materials
  • legos and building material
  • lego wall sheet
  • scrapbooking/paper craft materials
