Crestline Elementary Library
Second-grade students Kati Ortis, Georgia Jayne Stuckey and Lawson McKnight read in Crestline Elementary’s newly transformed Media Center.
The Crestline Media Center was completely transformed over the summer. The $126,000 project, which was almost entirely funded by the Cougar PTO, included new carpet, new paint, new bookshelves, new furniture and various forms of new technology.
The goal of the project was to make the media center a more usable, child friendly space. Movable furniture was installed so that the room is much more versatile and suited for collaborative lessons involving small groups of children. The computer lab was renovated, and a large touch screen television was installed along with a large screen interactive whiteboard and projector.
In addition, a small glassed-in room with a wall-mounted television was added for small study groups, small group collaborative lessons and small group research projects..
