The book fair has ended.  We are very grateful to all the volunteers who assisted at the registers and helped students and parents find their items.  Thanks, too, to the parents who supported the book fair.  The media center raised over $3,000 which will be used to buy new books for the media center.  It was a lot of work, but it seems to have made a lot of students happy  Now we're back to normal in the media center, and that feels great too

     Mrs. Cummins, the library media specialist at Ridge Elementary School, has created a wonderful link for students to use in browsing the internet.  She's found so many wonderful sites that are safe for children.  Here's the link to get to her webpage http://schools.smcps.org/res/media-center-internet-resources

    Be sure to visit the St. Mary's County Memorial Library. Below is the web-site for the kids' page at the public library. Be sure to check them out and be sure to obtain a library card for everyone in your family. http://www.stmalib.org/kids.html
