Welcome Letter

Welcome to MRA’s Mountain Meadow Media Center
September 6, 2016

Dear MRA Families,

I would like to welcome you and your students to a new school year! I hope you were able to read some good books this past summer. I was able to get in a lot of fun reading with my own children. I am looking forward to creating an environment for a passion and love for books and resources.

I encourage you to come and wander around our media center and look at our “BOOKS WE LOVE…” bulletin board. This will be a place where students can recommend their top reads to other students.

I am excited to see that our library collection has grown and is growing. With that in mind I want to make sure that we continue to respect the gifts of books we have been given. The students will be challenged to understand that our media center is a special collection of resources and requires care from all users. We will be focusing on how to locate and access many different digital/print resources. They will be using the information they gather in their classroom and personal projects. I hope you will partner with me in helping our students become responsible learners.

The students (K-8thth) will have a media center time each week and will be allowed to check out 1-4 books depending on age and responsibility shown. They have two weeks to read and enjoy their books. After that time if they have not returned their overdue books they will not be able to check out another until those are returned. If a book becomes lost or damaged (accidents happen) please let me know. Then a fee will be issued to replace the book unless we can come to another agreement.

Media Center Times
Trillium: Tuesdays
Huckleberry: Fridays
Clarkia: Tuesdays
Alders: Mon-Thurs.
Cedars: Mon.-Tues and Thur.-Fri.

I am looking forward to a great year and thank you for your support. Let me know if you have any questions.


Happy Reading!
