Read and Win!

Check out a book in May, read it and fill out a reccomendation form (available in the library) to have your name entered to win a literacy price pack!  There are 9 prize packs to be given away at the end of May including a Justin Bieber prize pack!  Watch for pictures coming soon.  For more details, see Mrs. Schmidt.

Sadly, the decision has been made to cut library staff within our school board.  This is a direct result of budget reductions from the NS Department of Education.

What does this mean for Tatamagouche Elementary?
I really do not know what things will look like next year...or the years to follow.  Our school has built a model library program that supports learning in a safe, fun, all-inclusive setting.  This will look very different next year and student learning will be directly impacted.

If your child has had a positive library experience, we would love to hear about it!  Comment here on our library blog or send an email to schmidta@ccrsb.ca

For more information , please visit the news links to the left.  Parents are encouraged to take an active role in preserving their child's education by speaking out in support of school libraries.  I have also provided contact information for those wanting to speak out in support of school libraries.
