Students visit the Cutler Library/Media Center to learn research skills and work on assignments and research projects using a variety of print and non-print resources.  Students are also encouraged to visit the library/media center to search for a good book to read.  Mrs. Thomas, our Library Technical Assistant, and I are always happy to see students visit and use their Library Media Center!

MEDIA ARTS CLASSES
