Last night was awards night and we had a great turn out. Seeing as
I am your librarian, I want to acknowledge the Library Award recipients for the
2012-2013 school year. Now, the Library Award is not simply a person who checks
out books, but someone who is inquisitive and eager to learn and someone goes
beyond the subject matter they learn in class.
This year's awards
go to Nick Zito and Areen Lulu. Both students show such wonderful promise and
understand the importance of knowing how to think instead of just what to
think. That goes a long way with me. Nick is a senior who focused much of his
reading on non-fiction books. He will be pursuing a career in the army and
criminal justice. Areen is our resident vampire book guru. She has read EVERY
vampire book in the SCLA Library. Areen and I had some heated philosophical
debates, some active and fun discussions regarding books, and she played an
integral part in choosing titles for next year's orders. For that I thank her!
To those who
received scholarships and awards last night: Keep.It.Up. You now have a
responsibility to not only maintain that level of academic integrity, but
encourage those around you.
And for those who
did not receive an award, Keep.Trying. If you feel as though you deserve
something in life, go get it. Do not sit back and say "Oh well..." Be
determined. Work hard. Come to school everyday and I can guarantee you will see
results. Life is an everyday occurrence, not just when you feel like it.
Oh and one more
thing: PLEASE RETURN ALL LIBRARY BOOKS TO BOTT ASAP!
