Meet Mrs. Mitchell!

  •  
    Mrs. Mitchell believes in the power of reading! Every child deserves to choose what they want to read because that choice helps develop a lifelong love of literature. I believe books cultivate empathy, critical thinking, and happiness.
     
    As a teacher-librarian, I believe enthusiasm is contagious and that every student is a unique, amazing individual brimming with possibility and inherent potential. The school library is the heart of the community. Beyond books, the library is a 21st century future-ready classroom of innovation and literacy.

Mission

  • The mission of the Groves Elementary School library is to encourage a life-long love of reading and prepare students to be future-ready learners by:

    • Creating a welcoming, safe, and inclusive atmosphere for students, staff and community members.

    • Cultivating a consciously curated, diverse, quality library collection that encourages students to voraciously read for pleasure and individual inquiry.

    • Collaborating with teachers across the curriculum on learning objectives and lessons as a partner to the classroom.

    • Teaching students how to effectively use and evaluate print and digital resources.

    • Provide students and staff with opportunities to use and learn a wide variety of 21st century technology while establishing a collaborative environment in which to create and explore.
