ISS @ AASL Reno November 5, 2007
Posted by aernst in : AASL2007 , add a commentOn Thursday 10/25, 50 of us went on the ISS tour “New Independent Schools Serve Special Populations”. We visited the Bishop Manogue Catholic High School, in a grand 2004 building, as well as the Sage Ridge School, serving students in 5th through 12th grades. Our gracious librarian host at Bishop Manogue was Mr. Marcelino Ugalde who gave us a tour of school facilities as well as the “Student Resource Center” , which is an impressive new library space.

At the Sage Ridge School, student ambassadors showed us around several school buildings, while librarian Kelli Anastassatos talked to us in the recently spruced library room. A lovely feature of this little library is an outdoor patio/terrace area. The school’s wireless enables students to use their laptops outside in this area. [http://www.sageridge.org/lib.html]
Thursday evening I had the pleasure of helping to host the ISS networking reception. Nearly 100 independent school librarians from across the country (and I believe from at least one other nation as well) gathered for conversation. Also in attendance were immediate past ISS chair Patt Moser and incoming ISS chair Elizabeth Burke.
