All About Me: Mrs. Duncan
I have been the media specialist at Suwanee Elementary for 11 years. Prior to working in the media center, I was a classroom teacher for 14 years. My husband and I moved to Suwanee in 1995 and it has been a wonderful place to raise our family. We have two grown children Alex (22) and Abigail (20). Our son completed a Masters Degree at UGA and is working in San Francisco. Our daughter, Abigail, is starting her junior year at the University of Georgia. My husband and I both earned Specialist Degrees from UGA, so we are thrilled to see our children become 'Dawgs'!
My favorite thing about the media center is showing students the MyQuest features in the Media Catalog (aka Destiny Quest). I love seeing how excited the students get about making friends, writing book reviews and sending recommendations to each other. I love allowing students to place books on hold, so they can get the books they really want! I love buying books that will get checked out.... so go on your MyQuest and fill out the "Wish List" if you have a book to recommend. Some of the most popular book series we have come from your requests. We have been getting excited about ebooks in the media center too. If your child has a device that allows apps, please help them setup the Follett Brytewave K-12 app so they can enjoy our ebooks.
Two years ago our fabulous PTA updated our space with colorful paint, signage and new tables and chairs. The students have enjoyed watching everything come together. They love sitting at the new tables and seeing how the fit together. Our PTA is very supportive of our media program and helps to fund an author visit every year. Visit our author tab to find out which authors have visited Suwanee over the years!
Please let me know if I can do anything to help you. I want you to love coming to the library as much as I love working here!
