Spring Book Fair Is Coming Soon!



Our Spring Scholastic Book Fair is coming to the Wildwood Gym on Friday, May 29th through Friday, June 5th!

Online shopping opens this Wednesday, May 20th.  This is a great time to stock up on books for our summer reading program!  Our summer reading program will be a fun way to get your family reading with a few incentives.   There will be more details coming soon.

We hope to reach $2,750 in sales this spring.  This helps us fund our library for the next year.  We hope to add new titles and have OBOB (Oregon Battle of the Books) readily available for the fall.

We are looking for volunteers to help run the book fair.  Please contact me (iquinlan@mra-k8.com) if you would like to help.  Sign ups are located in the front office.

Let's meet our goal!

Recipe For Research


Independent Project Research

For the next couple of weeks we will be discussing the important ingredients for researching in all our library classes.  As a parent of four students at MRA, this time can be hectic as I help coach my children in their research.  I just wanted to pass along a reminder that we have an incredible free research tool that as made our lives a little easier.  OSLIS is a huge database of information where your students can easily access most subjects.  I have a link on the side bar that will take you right to the site.  Remember our username is:  molalla and that our password is:  oslis.  Please contact me if you have any questions.   Happy researching and I can't wait to see the projects your students have come up with.
