Media Center Matters
Welcome to the Dare Media Site. The Media
Center at
Dare El. School is an extension of the curriculum and therefore seeks
to have
materials which support it
My name is Mary Jane Campbell and I have been
the
media specialist here at Dare for five years
This year Dare has welcomed a new
para-educator to
the media center. Her name is Penny Gilliland and she comes to us from
a
position as technology assistant. We look forward to working with
all the Dare students.
New announcements:
During these holiday and winter months, students have a wonderful
opportunity to enjoy lots of new books. Books make an excellent holiday
gift and students can gain pride in having their own home library.
The media center is
continuing to purchase more AR tests and have recently received several
new books. Please feel free to stop in and check the shelves for new
arrivals.
Please encourage
your children to return their books on time. When they have overdues
they are unable to check out new books. Prompt return of their books
fosters responsility. If they have lost their books please send in the
replacement cost to the media center.
