Help Us Reorganize Our Library!



Dobson Families-

As we close the 2nd marking period, Dobson is going to go through a mid-year Library review and cleanup.  In order to make this happen as quickly and efficiently as possible, we are going to require that all currently checked-out library books be returned to Dobson by Friday, February 21st. 

To help maintain our students’ love of reading and ease of access to books, we must make sure that our library is in the best shape possible.  Reading exercises our brains. Reading is a much more complex task for the human brain than, say, watching TV is. Reading strengthens brain connections and actually builds new connections.

Dobson has been without a librarian for the last few years.  Because of this, we are in need of parent volunteers to come in and work with Ms. Tierney and Ms. Paldino to help re-scan and inventory all of the books in the Library.  The more helpers we have, the less time the library will have to be closed for student use.

We cannot complete this large task without your help.  If you are able to donate any of your time during the week of March 3rd, please sign and return the bottom of this letter to Ms. Paldino by February 21st. 

Thank you-


Ms. Cruice, Principal
