Travell's New Library!

Travell is having an Open House on Wednesday 11/12 at 7:30 p.m. to officially open their new Media Center (aka Library). Everyone is invited to check it out. I can't wait to see it -- word "on the street" is it's quite nice! As you may (or may not) know, Travell's library was damaged last winter by a leaking pipe, so this summer it was completely renovated thanks to a fundraising effort by school leaders, parents, teachers, the Travell HSA and Travell Girl Scout troops. In addition to removing and replacing the damaged floor (and removing asbestos underneath), the entire room underwent an "extreme makeover," with new carpet, paint, shelves, electrical, tables, chairs, computer work stations, a circulation desk, flat screen TV and SMART Board electronic white board. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard coordinating, fundraising and rebuilding. The students of Travell will benefit from your efforts for years to come.

If you have a chance to stop by Wednesday night, check it out!
