Our Library
The Library Media Center is the heart of our school at H.E.S.. My goal is for every student to grow in their love of reading and to enjoy their time in the libray.To achieve that goal our library program offers various activities and events throughout the school year.
In the library students will hear amazing stories as we read together at the couches. Our books are enhanced by exciting sound effects that bring each book to life. When it comes time to choose books for the week, students are guided toward books that match their interests.
Time permitting, students can choose between independent reading at the couches, chess, art, or STEAM Bins. Each activity provides opportunities for students to grow in their love of reading, creativity, practice problem-solving, engineering design, or critical thinking skills. Our students learn valuable technology skills, tools, and coding.
