These are some of my former 7th grade library kids now doing their grad walk as seniors💙@nmsstallions @SheldonISD @KingHSPanthers @TxASL

Huge news for the Null MS Library! My two-year fundraising total for innovative programs is now $4,500 thanks to receiving TWO Bright Ideas Grants. I can't wait to launch the Language Learning Hub programming and our inaugural campus Comic-Con! 🥳 @sheldonisd @TWUAlumni @TXLA

Everyone, meet our bravest test subject, Bowser, the library lizard! STEM students built challenging mazes, and this cool customer helped them gather data on animal behavior and maze design. She earned extra crickets for her contribution to science! #LibraryPet @SheldonISD @TXLA

Our high-flying STEM students brought their projects to the library to test out their custom-built drones. It was an exciting afternoon of aeronautics and engineering. Keep an eye on the ceiling—you never know what innovation is taking flight! #LibraryLife @SheldonISD @TXLA

Skittles Launch! Our students celebrated National STEM Day by engineering some colorful catapult chaos! They learned all about trajectory and force while aiming for a sweet target. Science is delicious! #NationalSTEMDay #LibrarySTEM @SheldonISD @Skittles

Teacher: I'll just have to Google a book list on water pollution, erosion, and resettlement... the library probably won't have books for this niche PBL.
Me: SAY LESS. 🤫
