to the Library! We promised a $50 Amazon gift card drawing and received
so many well written reviews that we decided to give away TWO gift cards.
Here are the two winners for this semester, drawn randomly:
Lorena Sosa and Jesus Gonzalez! Congratulations!!
Come by the Library to pick up your gift card. Again, that’s Lorena Sosa
and Jesus Gonzalez!
Everyone

another opportunity to win! Not sure what we’re talking about but want to
know, stop by the Library and we’ll fill you in. Happy Holidays!

those in need. We also accept clothes

Read and Succeed Poetry

Formerly known as the Reno Air Racing Foundation, this
organization creates pathways for students interested in aviation industry
careers. Pathways to Aviation provides resources, connections, and activities
to students whether they're slightly interested, want to learn more, or plan to
pursue careers in this broad and growing industry.
Our new program (launching this winter) works closely with high
school juniors and seniors, who are very interested in any aspect of the
aviation industry. Through this program, the Nevada Aviation Careers program, students
will participate in career readiness workshops, attend aviation expert
presentations, tour aviation businesses, and work with industry and career
mentors. The program is free of charge (thanks to donors), but students are
required to register.
Need
a stocking stuffer? Need a gift to give a friend or a teacher? Boosters has a
great idea for you--Window Clings for only $5! These window clings are 4 by 6
inches and feature a large DR in Damonte blue and green. They will be
sold at various events as well as in the Student Store. These are not
stickers--they won't stick to your car forever like a bumper sticker. They will
stick inside your window of your car or home and can be removed any time.
Get yours while supplies last!
Nevada law states that students, ages 15
through 18, must complete 30 hours in a driver’s education class, plus 50 hours
behind the wheel.
TMCC Community Education Driver’s Education class, which costs
$99, fulfills the 30-hour classroom requirement. Parents are responsible for
the 50 hours behind-the-wheel component. These classes fill quickly. If the
class you want is full, look for another that has space available. Register
