Ms. Melissa Sears

Mrs. Cori Reeder
     Mrs. Reeder holds a degree in Dental Assisting.  She co-teaches library and technology classes for the elementary and assists with both story time and library check out.  She is the go-to-gal for any questions about the library.  She spends a lot of her time cataloging, shelving, and beautifying the library.  She is always quick with a friendly smile and a helpful attitude.  Mrs. Reeder is an avid quilter and a master at all things sewing.
