💎At our school, we’re incredibly lucky to have a true gem in Mrs. Watson, our amazing Library Media Specialist!
📚Whether she’s teaching a class full of little owls or leading Robotics Club, Book Club, or Video Club, Mrs. Watson wears many hats—and she wears them all with passion and purpose. Her library is more than just a room full of books; it’s a place of exploration, curiosity, and creativity.
♥️She has a special gift for connecting students with just the right book, helping them discover the joy of reading and sparking a love that lasts a lifetime.
🫶🏻Thank you, Mrs. Watson, for all you do to inspire and empower our students every single day!
