National School Librarian Day, celebrated on April 4, recognizes the important role librarians play in supporting education and inspiring a love of reading. CIS is fortunate to have Mrs. Andrea Lensing, who does an outstanding job as our school librarian and media specialist. She helps students develop a love for reading, supports teachers by enhancing the curriculum, and creates meaningful learning experiences in the library. Mrs. Lensing runs a creative makerspace where students can explore and build, organizes engaging book fairs, and produces The Panther Report so students stay informed and involved each day.
She’s supported by her library paraprofessional, Ms. Stephanie Fultz, and together they keep the library running smoothly and make it a welcoming place for everyone.
We’re lucky to have them both!
