Passive Programming for Students & Staff

https://bit.ly/tceaPP2024

A Little about me . . .

My name is Jeni Tahaney. I just completed my 29th year in education & my 21st year as a librarian; I’ve been in both Elementary & Secondary libraries. I am currently the librarian at Summit High School in Mansfield ISD (near Arlington, TX).
