Welcome to the Library Media Center Mrs. Toppler, Teacher Librarian and Miss Cottrell, Library Aide SCRA Library/Social
Studies Grant
The library books have finally arrived that were purchased from our SCRA May 2011 Grant. Boxes and boxes of them. It’s Christmas in January! I wrote the grant to update library books in the 900 (History) section of our library. The SCRA grant purchased $15,000 in library books and two SMART boards for our two Social Studies teachers, Mrs. Garland and Mr. Quartell. The grant totaled $25,690. The SMART boards were installed in the classrooms over winter break. Come in and check out our first SMART boards at Walcott School. We will also be holding a Book Preview Party for our staff in February. Many thanks to Scott County Regional Authority for their generous contribution to the students and staff of Walcott School!
