Updates from media center
Reminder that Tea $$ goes to Mallory, not Elizabeth. Thanks!
Inventory Update - due May 10. If you are able to turn in earlier, that would be super helpful as there is a lot of paperwork that has to be done once we have your information.
Student books are due Friday, May 24. Please have students come talk to Elizabeth or Barbara Westbrook (my sub) ASAP if they cannot find a book.
Feel free to schedule Media Center Stations with Barbara. Stations are a fun way to engage students in higher level thinking skills during these last hectic weeks.
We are out of donated K Cups in the media office. If you're feeling generous, please donate to the cause (ie. to get the staff through the end of the year w/ free coffee...😉 )

Do you need Hallway Sign?
Are you in need of new hallway signs that state- “Walk on the right side” or “Shhh?” If so, please reach out to Alexandria. She will put one in your box. If you are not aware of these signs, they are intended for you to hold while standing in the hallway as a gentle reminder (visually) of the expectation.
