Lower Moreland Township School District Mission and Beliefs District Mission: To foster individual excellence in a nurturing environment by integrating a dedicated staff, an innovative curriculum, and community resources, while promoting respect for self and others. All students will acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes necessary to become lifelong learners and citizens who will think critically, act responsibly, communicate clearly and collaborate effectively in a global community. In our school libraries, we support students in achieving these goals and teachers in constructing meaningful lessons to meet their curricular needs. Ultimately, we hope to create lifelong learners of all ages via our LMTSD School Library Media Centers.

Pine Road Our school is hosting our Arctic Adventure book fair Thursday, November 7th until Thursday, November 14th. Our evening fair will take place on November 7th from 4:00-7:00 and is open to anyone. For more information on our book fair, including the link for our online fair and sign up genius to volunteer, check here:https://bit.ly/2m5Tzjy. Third grade students looked for 39 Clues around the library to familiarize themselves with different sections of the library and the types of books and materials available. Fourth grade students were matched with students in schools around the world through our International School Library Month bookmark exchange project. Students created origami bookmarks to send to students in Croatia and India. Fifth grade students learned more about website evaluation and strong search skills through a project called “All About Explorers”. The Global Read Aloud is about to kick off in classrooms throughout Pine Road, with students in grades K-1 reading picture books by Yuyi Morales; students in grades 2 & 3 will read the book Stella Diaz Has Something to Say by Angela Dominguez and students in grades 4 & 5 will read the book Front Desk by Kelly Yang.
