• Books Our Teens Won't Be Able To Put Down

  Funded Jul 1, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our library. Within the time of budget cuts, we have to get creative on how to keep interesting and relevant books on our shelves for our students. Our collection would not be nearly as diverse and vast if we didn't have help from people who believe that books are important to our students. Not only do they have great material to choose from for their assigned reading, they also have wonderful options to keep them engaged in reading for pleasure and entertainment as well. We couldn't do it without you!”

• Start The School Year With A Great Book To Read

  Funded Oct 3, 2024

  Thank you so much for your donation of books for our library. As school funding grows tighter, often times the library is one of the first budgets to be cut and we have to look for alternative ways to get books on our shelves. Your belief in libraries & reading helps immensely! When students have new, relevant books to choose from, reading goes up greatly, not only for our required reading, but reading for pleasure and entertainment as well. I know our students are going to be so exited to have shiny new books to choose from. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

• Books for Our Library

  Funded May 9, 2023

  We so very much appreciate your generosity and belief in the importance of having a diverse and broad library collection for the students to choose from. As our budget was cut 10% last year, it's more important than ever to have the support of donors such as yourself to help keep our library up to date.

  Our teens need these books now more than ever, both for their social emotional well being and for their academics. This library provides a wide array of services to our students and the more options we have for them, the more enticed they will be to read and utilize the space.

  Thank you for being a supporter of our library and students. It is very much noticed and makes a big impact on our school.”

• New Library Books for Our Awesome Teens!

  Funded Feb 12, 2023

  We cannot fully describe the appreciation we have for donors who found our project worthy.. Our budget does not allow for us to buy the books and supplies we need for the library, so we would not be able to do it without your generosity. Putting books in the hands of these students is much easier when we have the support of our community who believe this is a worthwhile cause. Our teens will be so excited to see these new selections on the shelves. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
