__**EVIDENCE:**__

We hold a Book Fair in the fall and again in the spring. This gives students an opportunity to purchase books and show their support by providing additional funding for the Media Center to purchase new books and other items not covered by the school budget. During the week of the Book Fair, we coordinate with a family function to allow parents an opportunity to visit the Book Fair with their child. This spring, we are having the PTO/Spring Concert on Tuesday during the Book Fair and will have the Book Fair open before and after the concert for parents and students to visit. We have also scheduled a Parents Breakfast on the last day of the Book Fair and will be open for parents to visit with their child.
 * Evidence 1**

Enrichment program - Mrs. Royster, principal at CGES, asked that I assist with providing enrichment time for 1-3 students per class that needed some individualized instruction time. We worked on a schedule that would allow the Media Center to be open to students as well as block off periods of the day when I did not have classes to work with a small number of students that teachers felt would benefit from smaller group work.
 * Evidence 2**

I am in attendence at each PTO meeting held at CGES and have the Media Center open so that parents can come by before or after the meeting to dicuss any issues or concerns they may have with me. Sometimes, this is the only opportunity parents that work have to visit the Media Center and the visit can be simply an opportunity for the student to show their parents where they come to check out books and attend weekly classes.
 * Evidence 3**

I am a member of the Leadership Team and serve as the secretary with responsibility for recording the minutes of each meeting which I then present to the principal for corrections before they are sent out to the staff.
