📚 Shoutout to Mrs. Amy McDowell! 📚
We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Amy McDowell, Library Media Specialist at Cedar Grove Elementary School, who truly embraces the core value that students matter most.
"Even though MES currently does not have a library media specialist, Mrs. McDowell saw the need and reached out to offer her assistance in making our library accessible to both students and teachers. Mrs. McDowell graciously visits our school and is working hard to put together valuable resources for our teachers. Thanks to her efforts, our students will continue to have the opportunity to check out books and use our library, even during this period of being understaffed. She understands just how important it is to get books into our students' hands, and we can't thank her enough for stepping up to support our school community!"
Thank you, Mrs. McDowell, for your commitment to our students and your unwavering support! 📖✨
