Principal’s Message: 


Jackie Carducci  GJHS Principal
Jackie Carducci GJHS Principal

What would Greenspun Junior High School be without Mr Andy Slocum? Even though he might not think so, teachers, students, and staff believe that he is the best librarian ever! 


In fact, Mr. Slocum is more than just a librarian. He is the heart of the school. He consistently finds innovative ways to create an inviting, positive, and safe space in his amazing library. On any given day, it is easy to see a room full of students who are reading books, playing games, researching projects, or just hanging out having fun. 


That is why it gives me great pleasure to congratulate Mr. Slocum for being presented with the Exemplary Employee Award by the CCSD Team Engagement Department in honor of CCSD Librarians Day.


I know that Mr. Slocum doesn’t always get excited about awards because his ultimate reward is watching kids discover a love of reading, and then, when they keep reading, that makes him even happier. Mr. Slocum is that person who inspires kids, and that is one of the most valuable things a teacher can do.
