Welcome to the Friendship Learning Commons!
Our mission is to provide information services that support the learning and teaching of all members of our school community, promote blended learning and the enjoyment of literature, and to ensure that all students become effective users of ideas and information so that they may become independent, lifelong learners.

We had an AMAZING 1st voluntary book club this afternoon! We played book trivia from our reading of Growing Homes. Students also got to enjoy book inspired snacks. Thank you to Mrs. Trainor, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Tipton and Ms. Melanie for staying and helping today!
We have been open just a little over 2 weeks and we are off to a great start! Can`t wait to see all the great things that are going to happen this school year!
We opened our StoryWalk tonight for the families at Friendship! Can’t wait to formally introduce it to all our students! #eaglescoutproject @hallcountyschools @friendshipelementaryschool
Jumped on the trend! Can’t wait to get these into our 5th graders hands. It was a lot of fun looking back at their first check out!
