Over the past thirteen years, I have had the great opportunity of serving the students, staff, and community of the Clearwater R-1 School District.
I have enjoyed my work immensely. I have been able to wear many hats and have had the pleasure of seeing the library program develop into an integral part of the Clearwater School system with a positive impact on student achievement. It has been exciting to renovate the facility, revitalize the book collection, and bring the makerspace to life, but I feel the greatest accomplishment of an educator occurs in the lives of students. I treasure each one of you and feel as though I have done as much learning as I have teaching.
I look forward to watching your continued success and will miss you terribly as we all take on new challenges. Please accept my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for being a small part of your lives.
Best,
Mary Bangert
High School Library Media Specialist
The summer slide is a decline in academics that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session. READING is a good way to avoid the slide. For more information, visit Free Summer Reading Programs and Summer Reading Lists for Kids of All Ages.
Enjoy your summer and READ!
Auditions will be held June 10-11 and July 12-13 for TRC fall productions of Mary Poppins and Mamma Mia! See the posters below for details.
