"Studies conducted over the past two decades, both in Colorado and nationwide, show that students in schools with endorsed librarians score better on standardized achievement tests in reading, compared with students in schools without endorsed librarians."

I’m going to celebrate & relish in the interactions I had with students in the HS IC today! Lifted my spirits & reminded me why I am a teacher librarian!

[Sarah Gatton @SarahStaudt]

This is AMAZING to see how they are honoring Mark Ritland! I have many fond memories of Mark! His game announcing, his interactions with me at school, and how we chatted about sports!

[Ames High Athletics @AmesAthletics]

Today, we received a new segment to our scorers table.

This particular one will serve as a centerpiece to Harrison Barnes Gymnasium and as a tribute to Mark Ritland, who spent 25 years as our public address announcer before his passing in December 2021.
