Where I spend my time...

We are almost through the first quarter of the school year already, so thought I would blog about where I work. I'm starting my fourth year at Skyline High School in the east Mesa area. I have never missed working in the attendance office at Dobson High School one minute! That's because I now work 10 minutes from home and I work in a beautiful school library. We have about 18,000 books, a computer lab, plus 30 student computers in the main library. We have a magazine room, and a video/DVD room which teachers can access. We have lounge chairs for a reading nook, and a teacher's computer/work area also. This is where my desk is, right by the circulation desk.I enjoy creating monthly displays for "This Month in History" If you are wondering what the "mustard" means: August 7 is National Mustard Day!Everyone needs to know that bit of trivia, right? I also change and display books in this glass cabinet near the front door. The magazine room is visible through the glass windows above the cabinet. This picture shows the "back to school" theme, but now I have the Hispanic Heritage Celebration housed there. We also receive monthly creative arts displays from our District about different countries and cultures. Here is a sample one from last month.This display is about Afghanistan. I don't have a picture of our great lounge/kitchen area housed between the library and the audio/visual department. My co-worker Colleen helps me half of her workday in the library; the other half is spent in the copy center in A.V. I am so thankful to have a job, and to work in such a pleasant environment with great teachers, staff and students.

  2. Wow! You are in charge of a lot of things! Everything looks so nice and tidy. I wish my house was as clean as it looks there! Very cool to see everything. You'll have to post more pictures when you change the displays. I like seeing that stuff!
