February - Deep Run Library

Feb. 3-7

Students took make up exams on Monday and were proctored in the library. The whole day was used for make up exams.
We worked with Mr. Dickey and his leadership classes on a project they will be doing to promote the library. They are working in two groups and will be in a competition "like the apprentice TV show". The librarians and administrators will be judging this project.
