The media program offers 21st century instruction and technology, as well as the latest print and electronic collections for all of our students, parents, and teachers. Our Media Center programs increase students' reading skills while fostering a love for reading, which is a fundamental part of academic growth and improvement. Our media programs enhance information literacy, motivating students to enjoy reading, and to make it an essential part of their lives.
Meet Your Media Specialist!

Hi there! I am Mrs. Wilson, your Jerry Thomas Media Specialist. I see all classes at every grade level once a week for 35 minutes on our Fine Arts rotation. Students in grades 2-5 are able to check out 2-3 books per week and take them home to enjoy until they're done. Students in 1st grade check out books to keep in their classroom for reading, while Kindergarten teachers check out books to keep in bins in their classroom as well. This year we will have open Media in the mornings starting at 7:30 am. Students are welcome to join me at that time in the Media Center to read before school or return and check out books if they just can't wait until their next Media day.
The Media Center hosts many amazing school activities like this year's Family Date night with Putt-Putt in the Library! We also host our annual Literacy Night, our monthly staff, PTO, and SAC meetings, and a week-long Book Fair in the Fall and Spring. I hope to see you at our Jerry Thomas Media Center sometime soon!
