Black History Month Event on Feb. 6: The media center introduced a hero of African-Americans and provided an opportunity for all students to realize quality and value of the history of Black history. The SLMS also creates a movie trailer to introduce new materials related to African-Americans. The media specialist broadcasts that through school media.

Program 1: We decided to focus on Florence Joyner, an Olympic runner in 1987. The students visit the official web site of Florence Joyner and read some quotes. The classes have discussion what connection they can make. After the events teachers collect the students reflective comments and post them at the media center bulletin board or virtually on the school web site. http://www.florencegriffithjoyner.com/

The club created a Valentines card attached to a piece of candy and asked generous donation from the students for delivered that to persons they wish to show their love. The requests were accepted from Feb. 6-10. The cards were delivered on Feb.14 during three lunches in the lunch room. President Day Event on Feb.17 : The Media Center decided to display collage posters on President. This was done through collaboration with Social Study teachers and Fine Art teachers. The students wrote down any knowledge they discovered about the presidents in Social Studies class and posted on a poster with some photographs and images related to the presidents, which was made by students in Fine Arts class. Book Lovers Event on Feb. 27 through March 2: The SLMS decided to have a week-long show-off activity of students who have passion toward books. The media center had placed a box from Feb. 1 to Feb. 24 asking students to complete a sentence prompting I love this book (title) because, and write down on sticky notes. On Feb. 27 the SLMS displayed those responses on a bulletin board.
