  • Building A Better School Library

    Funded May 6, 2022

    Thank you for your donations during and after the pandemic shutdowns. Our students greatly appreciate your support. While I am no longer at the school, every Donor's Choose item remained at Eisenhower and was used by the librarian after me. She expressed gratitude as well. You really made a difference in these kiddos lives. I do apologize for this late recognition for your generosity. Students have been enjoying all the Donor's Choose items for two-plus years now. Your impact has impacts over time. Thank you again so much!”

  • We Need Diverse Books!

    Funded Dec 31, 2021

    Thank you so much for your support in our school library. We have a very diverse student population and community and we really appreciate having these books so kids can see themselves in the stories and information in our school library. We are getting more and more representation of cultures, religions, lifestyles, and other diverse points of view which helps us have a balanced collection. These books have been checked out numerous times by students and teachers alike. Thank you so very much for your contribution. We really appreciate donors like you.”

  • Books to Compete in the WI Battle of the Books

    Funded Nov 15, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. The students have been loving reading and talking about these books. They are constantly checked out and they looked forward to the competition. Students will continue to enjoy these books for years to come. We really appreciate your support for our library program and helping us get more copies of these books into kids hands. They have been checked out not only by the students who signed up for the Battle of the Books but also those who just thought they looked interesting. Thanks for helping us build a community of readers.”

We are just building our makerspace in our elementary library. We need a Cricut maker so that students have hands-on access to a tool to help make a positive difference in our school. Students will learn how to use the maker, design skills and technology to meet the needs of our students, classrooms and school. In our school, students are the makers and will identify and solve real world problems through the makerspace process. This tool will be used in library lessons as well as in clubs and classrooms. School staff, students and parents will submit problems and requests for the students to solve. The Cricut will allow students access to precision cutting relatively easily in order to solve a real world problem. Many of these problems involve elements of math, engineering, art, community service, literacy, etc. For example, if funded, 6th graders will be working on a vinyl design to create a sensory path in a variety of school areas as well as coming up with a plan to test the feasibility of their plan and materials. The sensory path is a real need in the school as it allows students another outlet for activity and whole brain engagement. Other grades will be involved in making signage and classroom and all school projects including displays, directional signs, and many, many more real world problems. The maker allows us to delve even deeper as it provides the ability to cut quarter inch balsa wood, fabric and many other materials that can be used to meet needs. We are excited for this opportunity for our students to use technology and design to solve issues.
