URGENT! Tell Gov. Andy Beshear to support our students and #TrustSchoolLibrarians - Veto SB 5 !!! bit.ly/VETOSB5 #VetoSB5

Emily Northcutt, NBCT Every district has a policy. Teacher librarians already work with individual students and parents to meet individual needs. They've been doing this for decades. Kentucky is a leader in school librarianship. Ask for the veto and ask your representative not to override it.

All hands on deck. If you're a librarian, a teacher, a parent, a student, a principal, or any one else who supports #FReadom & opposes censorship within school libraries, contact your KY rep & join the campaign: bit.ly/VETOSB5 Policies already exist. #TrustLibrarians

Katie in Hardin Co….doing a short stint in the Great Smokey Mountains…we are reading Willa of the Woods and stoping in the setting to see real life! #KyLChat

A1: diversity in the library, means celebrating our school diversity…it is purposeful shopping and purposeful displays #KyLChat

A3: making sure to promote diverse characters and authors for classroom read aloud…prepping teachers with author info/videos to promote the author before they read…kids have enjoyed seeing diverse authors represented. #KyLChat

A4: 1) to make everyone feel welcome because they see themselves in successes and hardships and fantasies for escaping and 2) so we can learn how our differences make us special/successful/vital and should be celebrated. #KyLChat

A5: using tools in Titlewave to help search for diverse representation continues to help me be efficient in my intentionality, and conversation my students to find their diverse heros/interests VG and place them in the “nooks and crannies” of our space #makerspace fun #KyLChat

As our Trojan Nation of Families has surely heard by now, Alton is hosting its first Book Fair in almost a decade. Next week all of our Trojans will have the opportunity to visit the Book Fair out of their enhancement class, and will be open to all of our families who visit

Yesterday, J.T. Alton held our first Flood Drill in school history as required under the new Kentucky HB 1701 that was signed into law by the Governor last week! This new drill is required to be held once a month under the new state law just like fire & tornado drills, and

requires both staff & students to find ways to evade flood waters in the building! As you can see, these drills will definitely improve the safety of our Trojans in the school! And if you believed any of that, you can see so did our students! Happy April Fools Day Trojan Nation!

Bustling preview day in the Book Fair!! Lots of excited shoppers for the rest of the week! Come stock up on fun reading for Spring Break! #jtakeepcalmandtrojanon #jtalmc
