This year the learning commons is taking on the theme of "We are the Champions!" (celebrating a Blues Stanley Cup win!) by "finding the champion in you!"
There are champions everywhere though, not just in sports, including in each of the students at Hollenbeck. We have a lot of champion books and authors to explore here.
Finally, we have a new library paraprofessional this year--Mrs. Ellison. She will surely be a great addition to the learning commons.
