Recognizing Our Amazing Librarians

This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we’d like to say thank you to our Ozanam Campus librarians: Dr. Swartz, a former teacher and principal; Mr. Don, a former teacher and superintendent; and Ms. Shawn, a former educator and real estate agent.

The three come to campus twice a week. During those days, the kids return and check out books, complete an activity, and play games with the librarians. Typical activities include identifying places on maps or doing arts and crafts. Our volunteer librarians enjoy fostering the kids' love of reading and education, and our kids enjoy spending time with them. Thank you!
