Our Library Media Team helps us #BelongGrowSucceed:
Ms. Grey-Hawkins sets the positive tone for each school day as our adviser for morning announcements. She has trained our 4th and 5th graders to write, read, and record the daily broadcast that includes birthdays, positive referrals, and information we all need, such as what’s for lunch, the weather, and band/strings schedules. Ms. Grey-Hawkins uses her expertise as the e-Coach to teach students how to broadcast in front of and behind the camera!
