Media Center

  • The media program offers 21st Century instruction, technology, and the latest print and electronic collection for all of our students, parents, and teachers.

    Our Media Center programs increase students' reading skills and foster a great love for reading and information literacy. The love of reading is fundamental in the growth and improvement of all academic areas. Our media programs feature motivational programs such as the Sunshine State Young Readers Jr. book selections, Sunshine State Readers - Battle of the Books for grades 3-5, Florida Reading Association for grades Pre-K-2, Reading Across America- Dr. Seuss Celebration, Storybook Parade, Author-In Residence, and Scholastic Book Fairs. Students will learn to love to read and make it an essential part of their lives.
