Library Media center
The mission of the Blakeney Elementary school library is to
provide a wide variety of print and digital resources
that enrich and support the school's curriculum, while
also providing an environment that encourages a love for reading.
Laura Reeves
My name is Laura Reeves, and I serve as the Media Specialist at Blakeney Elementary School. This is my 32nd year as an educator. I taught Special Education through Teach For America in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, for two years before coming home to teach high school English at ECI. I began as a Media Specialist at Greenbrier High School, then Screven County High School before coming to Burke County in 2006. I love literature, and providing books to our children.
In addition to being a Media Specialist, I drive a school bus. I also write a weekly column for the local paper, The True Citizen. I enjoy reading, working out, travelling, and most of all spending time with my two lovely daughters, Elsa and Inga.
