Welcome!
Welcome to the SMS Media Center page! :)
My name is Jenna Thompson. This is my 15th year at St. Mary's. For several years I taught math and science, however, this is my second year as the school media specialist!
I see K-5th grade students once a week for library and technology skills. I will work closely with junior high teachers to provide assistance with projects and offer plenty of book checkout opportunities. I will also see junior high students daily for those who signed up to participate in the Wonder Novel Study.
My goals are to help students foster a love of reading, to gain knowledge and for pleasure, provide students with materials and services to support and extend classroom learning, model how to access and process literary information, and continuously grow in technological skills.
I look forward to a great year with your child! Please email me with any questions! :)
