Back in the Swing of Things

 Students, Students, Students

We have a few days under our belt and the library has been busy! Returning students coming in to study and say hello, and we have had many freshmen come by to check out books and say hello! It makes us so happy to know the freshmen already feel welcomed and safe in our library! Looking forward to working with them this year!

  For the Love of Reading

 Our goal this year is to increase pleasure reading. We recognize children come into kindergarten with a total love of reading and by the time they get to high school many of them have stated they do not like to read, they don't have time to read, they can't find anything to read. While there are a lot of factors that may contribute to this, we are committed to finding ways to light that fire for reading again for our students! We have set up some great displays to help get it started!

"We're going back back to school again"

"I’m giving all I have to my schoolwork and exams
‘Cause my future’s in my hands, can’t you see
I have a master plan. Graduate? Oh, yes I can"

 -Bruno Mars Education Song

A new year has begun and we are off to a great start! We are really looking forward to all the adventures this year and can't wait to see what it will bring!

 

 Introducing.....

 Look Who's Back.....

Sassy is so happy to be starting her "sophomore year" at Natick High. She even got her back to school haircut. She hopes this year she will be able to bring sunshine and joy to the students and staff at NHS!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Have a Seat....

We have some new seating in the library and it is already a hit! Seniors relaxing after a long day and enjoying their time in the library!

"And in the End..."

We have made it! The last blog entry for the school year 2017-18! It has been another exciting year with many wonderful things happening in the library.



 On this first day of exams we wish all of our students the bets of luck and a most happy and safe and sunny summer! We look forward to seeing everyone back in the fall!

Those Wacky Seniors!

Today is the big day! Congratulations to the class of 2018 as you graduate and begin the next phase of your lives!
Not to leave on a quiet note, the seniors "took over" the staff lot this morning. All entrances and spaces blocked as they had their coffee, donuts and waffle makers going full force! Nice move seniors nice move!

What a Busy Week!

 

 "Feeling hot hot hot -- Feeling hot hot hot" -Buster Poindexter

We are so happy the warm weather is finally here! And it came just in time for the juniors and seniors to enjoy the prom tonight at Mechanics Hall in Worcester. We wish all of our students a fun, festive and safe night! Can't wait to see the pictures.

 

Disconnecting and Reconnecting!

 

A few weeks ago we had someone donate some gimp to the library along with some puzzles. We put the gimp out as an afterthought. We had no idea what a huge hit it was going to be.  Freshmen to seniors have put down their devices and taken up that summer camp special and have been "gimping" for the last few weeks!! It has been a highlight of our year! One of the funnier aspects of the gimp phenomenon is how many adults did NOT know what gimp is. I sent out an all district email seeking out any donations of gimp and the number of faculty and staff who emailed me back asking WHAT gimp was was hilarious...so for the record Gimp is: "plastic lacing string."

We have since added to the gimp festival and have introduced friendship bracelet string and not surprising that has caught on like wild fire!!

"Time To Remember"

"This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever, these are the days to hold on to....this is the time, but the time is gonna change" - Billy Joel

Congratulations to our seniors who have their last day of classes today. They have been an enthusiastic, intelligent engaged group and we know they will go on to do great things! Good Luck to you all!!!

Enjoying the Spring!

Senior Memoir Project

One of our favorite assignments of the year comes right at the end. Seniors come to the library to choose a memoir. The memoir of their choice should evoke curiosity, excitement and interest in the subject. Students were enthusiastic pouring over choices.
