Playing and Learning in the Library

Funded Mar 20, 2022

Receiving these items has been such a wonderful experience for my students and our campus as a whole. Since acquiring these items, my students have been able to play, create, and read so much more than they previously were able to!

The books we received are ones that are extremely popular on social media and draw a lot of attention from teens. As soon as we input them into our system, they were checked out and are still regularly being borrowed by students. This means students are reading for pleasure and finding material that piques their interest! Research constantly proves that reading for pleasure contributes to improved test scores as well as an improved wellbeing.

The games and crafts that were provided allow students to take the very necessary mental breaks away from classroom activities. In our current world, students face so much pressure and stress. By allowing them to use the creative aspect of their brain and partake in less mentally draining activities is greatly beneficial to their well-being!

Thanks to your wonderful donations, our library has so much more to offer students and they are certainly taking advantage of these opportunities!”

With gratitude,
