Hello 2023
Even though we have already finished one semester of this school year, January always brings about a refreshing starting point for us all. The starting line can be intimidating at times. Taking the first step across that line for some is tough, for others it can’t happen quick enough. As we all take those first steps, I hope you will keep this next statement close.
“You can’t see where you are headed if you are always looking back at where you’ve been.”

I don’t know what your 2022 year looked like. Maybe is was splendid and filled with nothing but the best. It could have been dreadful and full of sadness, loss, and disappointments. Regardless of what happened, strive to look ahead. Do not dwell, look back, on what was. Keep your eyes forward and be determined to focus on what will be and how you are growing as a person.
I personally haven’t ever been one to make resolutions. If I don’t make them, I can’t break them… right?!?!? Well, this year will be no different for me. I am planning to “just keep swimming” and learning. Who knows what this year will hold for me, but I’m ready. I hope you are ready to run with me!
On your mark, get set, GO!!!!!

What is MakerSpace?
This area of the LC is most definitely going to be the most expensive part of the renovation of our space. With that said, it will feel very slow and very limited to begin with. Eventually, I do hope that this is an area that you begin to love and look forward to using.
Some BIG dreams for this area include but are not limited to:
3D Printing/Design
Robotics Options
Circut Designing Station
Flight Simulator and Aviation Challenges
Puzzles
Creativity/Art Station
Wish List for our Library Stacks
