Tara Morstatt, our media specialist, has been very busy since virtual learning has started! Over the years, she has provided special programming in the Innovation Center that has helped to advance students’ knowledge in a variety of areas. When the pandemic caused the school building to physically close down, Mrs. Morstatt was able to quickly switch gears and find ways to continue to support the students and staff in a virtual setting. She collaborates with the teaching staff to help augment their lessons with various technology programs to make lessons more engaging. The Art Department, with Mrs. Morstatt’s assistance, has developed a virtual gallery displaying student artwork that normally would be found on the bulletin boards in the hallway or displayed on the shelves in the Innovation Center. Mrs. Morstatt has made guest appearances in different virtual classrooms to share resources with students and suggest books to read during free time based on what students have studied in the classroom. Through her monthly messages, students and staff are provided with different activities to engage in outside the classroom.
