We Can Hear the Announcements!

The latest of our innovations has been in the area of audio: We can now hear the announcements that are made throughout the day and we can hear them from any room in the library. Last year, in order to hear the bell between classes and the PA announcements, one had to be near the library door or actually standing in the hallway outside of our door. A special request was made last spring and we came into school in September with a new speaker on the wall above our door. This was a big help, as it allowed us to hear announcements that were being made throughout the day, and to hear the bells as well.

This would have been sufficient, except that it quickly became apparent that the HS Room was too far from the speaker to hear either, and so it was a regular occurrence that our hard-working HS independent study students would be so engrossed in their studies that they would miss the bell and end up needing a pass to their next period classes. Mr.Zuber came to our rescue again and arranged for another speaker to be installed in the HS Room, so the students and teachers who work back there could get to their next classes on time.
