Ms. Chara Gill

Welcome to Bush Hills STEAM Academy Library Media Center!

I am the Media Specialist, Chara Gill. Our school is centered around the media center, and we are the hub of this wonderful learning community. We work very hard to make sure we meet the needs of all patrons.

Our services consist of checking out books, assisting students with using computers, integrating technology into assignments, and exposing students to our Destiny Webpage, which has a variety of resources that are available for students and teachers.

These services include exposure to e-books, allowing students to use supplemental materials such as Webpath Express and more. We are creating twenty-first century learners at Bush Hills STEAM Academy. We are teaching students a variety of technology and research skills, projects, and products to prevent students from falling into the pitfalls of plagiarism and to keep our students moving. "Full STEAM Ahead!" 

I look forward to meeting all of our scholars and having an awesome and adventurous school year!
