Library Highlights

Mr. Cannon’s 1920s Project (culminating Dec.

1) We always look forward to working with Mr.

Cannon’s classes as they research the 1920’s in

conjunction with their study of The Great Gatsby.

Both Mrs. Bullington and Mr. Campbell had taught a

session and for the first time used an online survey for

feedback on the helpfulness of our sessions.

Foreign Language Department Meeting (Dec.

2)Mrs. Bullington and Mr. Campbell met with

members of the Foreign Language department to share

the resources the library has available for them. Mrs.

Shropshire had compiled a list of requested resources

to add to our collection and Mrs. Bullington was able to

purchase all of the items requested.

End of Course Testing (Dec. 7-9)

We were happy to once again assist Guidance as they

oversaw administering online End of Course tests in

the library’s computer rooms.

Mrs. Broome’s Senior Projects (Dec. 2, 3, and

6) Mrs. Broome’s English IV students’ research project

this semester had to in some way benefit the

community. Students presented their final product to

their classmates and some guests on these three days.

Bulldog Booklovers Club Meeting (Dec. 9) The

club met to discuss books members had read recently

and would highly recommend to others. Members

completed a book recommendation form to guide them

as they presented their selected title. The two books for

January’s meeting were announced and students

signed up for the one they preferred.
