Student voice, participation, and leadership are vital to our Gillispie Library program. Students regularly request books to be added to our collection. Students also frequently add their ideas and creativity to library displays. The winners of this year’s Gillispie Library writing contest have their writing featured in the Library for other students to read and enjoy.
This year, a small group of students have become Library Volunteers. These students come to our Open Library hours before school and during their morning snack and recess breaks. They take on vital library tasks including organizing and reshelving our collection. This is one of the many ways that student leadership is an essential part of Gillispie School.
