Mission Statement

The mission of the Georgian Forest Elementary Media Center is to ensure that all students are information literate and can:

Select appropriate reading materials
Use information and technology ethically
Follow the inquiry process and communicate in an appropriate form

We will do this by collaborating with classroom teachers to connect information literacy skills to the curriculum and by planning creative, informative activities that will reach each student's individual learning style.
