Terrell Wells Middle School Library

This year, I provided library books to the science classes throughout the school year. Mrs. Espinoza, Mrs. Carrasco, and Mrs. Kingman/Valdez each received approximately 50 science-related library books every two months for classroom use. The program was successful, and next year I would like to expand it to include 8th grade Science and ELAR.

2025-2026 - 2,498

There were 386 users at TWMS who checked out 3,337 eBooks in Sora between August 2025 - May 2026. Once again, TWMS leads in the number of users and checkouts. Way to go Trojans.

During the past 3 years, I have been weeding our collection to try to reach our average-age goal of 2016.

I worked with tech person who came in to place new covers on 6th grade Chromebooks. Thereafter, I covered Chromebooks if the student was absent that day.
