Bill J. Elliott Elementary does an annual storybook peep diorama contest! Librarian Amy Suson was inspired by the Star Telegram contest over a decade ago (which her husband and her won!), and decided to do it with her students. Library students create a Peep Diorama over their favorite book with the Peeps as the characters and the box as their setting.

Mrs. Suson said, "I absolutely adore Peeps so bringing them into my library is such a joy. I love seeing the students' ingenuity and creativity in their projects. We even had a teacher participate this year bc it 'just looked fun'."

Bravo, BJ Elliott Readers!

To celebrate National School Library Month, Van Zandt-Guinn Elementary School teachers and staff are showing their love of reading with their own Read posters outside their classroom or office. At VZG, we are always trying to create a culture and climate of a love for reading.

Happy National School Librarian Day!

Today we would like to take a moment to recognize and thank our very own librarian, Jana Hunt, here at Trimble Tech High School!

Because of her hard work and dedication, our students have access to engaging books, trusted resources, and a welcoming space that sparks curiosity and a love of learning. 📚

She also sponsors Battle of the Books and contributes as a member of the Hospitality Committee.
