I also have a grandson who will be a three at the end of September. I am originally from Kokomo, Indiana. My dad retired from the United States Navy, which gave me the opportunity to travel and live in different countries.

The Media Center @ Pickett Mission Statement
The Media Center @ Pickett will function as the hub of the school in order to lead students in becoming lifelong readers and learners who appreciate and celebrate literature, themselves, and others.
The Media Center @ Pickett will support the curriculum by collaborating with teachers, developing a collection that meets the needs of all learners and is representative of the school community by implementing core instruction for students that integrates technology, research, information literacy, and digital citizenship.
The Media Center @ Pickett is committed to challenging students to become critical thinkers, communicators, collaborators, and creators as they work to be productive citizens in a global society who are equipped with the 21st century skills necessary to succeed.
It is our passion to prepare students to be future ready: to not only become independent and ethical seekers and users of ideas of information, but creators of the ideas and information.
