Library Media Center


Welcome to the Sunrise Library Media Center!  Mrs. Donna Connell and Mrs. Ann Weisbeck, and Mrs. Carol Schuchart are back, planning another exciting year of reading, researching, and learning.

Mrs. Connell is here all day and teaches kindergarten, first grade, second grade, 3 of the fourth grade classes and the self-contained classroom. Mrs. Weisbeck is here each morning and teaches third grade, fifth grade, and 2 of the fourth grades. Mrs. Schuchart, media assistant, is here for two hours each afternoon.

We will have three Book Fairs this year. One Scholastic Book Fair will be in December and one in June - both in the school library. The Barnes and Noble Book Fair will be an in-store Book Fair on March 6th.
