• Flex seating

  Funded May 9, 2022

  Me and my students are using the resource as flexible seating in the media center. The media center needs renovation and up-to-date furniture to make the environment more pleasing.

  When the students first saw the seats they were surprised and ready to sit on on them. They said the seats are very comfortable and great to use at the desktop computers.

  Next steps is to continue with projects with flexible seating and tables to turn the media center into a more collaborative space. We at Western Guilford High School thank you for your donations to help us achieve this goal.”

• Battling Books

  Funded Mar 17, 2022

  Thank you so much for donating to the Western Guilford battle the books team. These books mean so much to the students were they able to read and then compete against other schools in the district. Students read these titles and able to quiz each other on in which book question format. After the competition these great books will be added to circulation for students to check out and my battle of the books team will create a buzz about how good these books are for other students to be able to read.”

• Breathe Better

  Funded Jan 26, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generous donations toward the Breathe Better project. These Dehumidifier have started to change the atmosphere of the media center. The machine is helping to clean the air and reduces and maintains humidity levels in the media center. Humidity and books are not a good combination. That is why your donations are so important! We don't have the funding to do a full renovation of the media center, so I must do small projects to renovate it myself. I hope you have a great day and think about all the good you have done. Again, thank you for your donations.”

• Flex Seating for Reading

  Funded Jan 10, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generous donations toward the Flex Seating project. These stools have started to change the atmosphere of the media center. The students like using the stools to seat at the computers or to do work at one of the tables. Our furniture is straight out of the 70s. Chairs are starting to break down and that can be a real safety issue. That is why your donations are so important! We don't have the funding to do a full renovation of the media center, so I must do small projects to renovate it myself. I hope you have a great day and think about all the good you have done. Again, thank you for your donations.”

• Fair and Equitable Rights

  Funded Dec 30, 2020

  Thank you for your donation of the book sets for our social emotional learning book club. The teachers have really enjoyed these books and are looking forward to more book club sessions. These books will open the thinking of our surroundings which will force the much needed conversations of equity and race. Coming from a school that it 70% black and brown students, we have to refresh our thinking so that we can serve our students and families. Again, thank you for your donation that will spearhead some forward thinking conversations.”

• Joy of Reading

  Funded Oct 22, 2020

  Many of our donors love to read books, well we do, too! I have taught lessons to the students then at the end of the lesson do a book highlight. The booklight spotlights a new arrival book and tell a little bit of what it is about.

  Reading in the media center is not open due to Covid 19, but books are still circulating. Students have a opportunity to do Curbside Checkout. Curbside Checkout is where students connect the media specialist with a book or books request through calling, email, or putting books on hold. The media specialist will then pull those requested books and have them ready for pickup.

  All ages are enjoying the books thanks to you and your generous hearts.”
