  • Let's Play!

    Funded Dec 31, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donation to my students. Students helped me open the boxes (they were just as excited to do an unboxing) and were surprised to find so many games and all of the games they requested.

    The students could not believe that someone they do not know sent them so many amazing games. These games will help influence focus, patience, reduces stress, and increase brain development.  Hence, board games influence teamwork and support.

    During this day and age, families are struggling to find the balance between digital and real-life connections, but your donated games will provide an outlet for my students to emotionally connect and generate togetherness.

    Thank you for your continued support of my students and our school library!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. S. Howard

The library is a great space in which students can read or work on assignments. It is imperative that the library have plentiful and up-to-date resources, print, digital, or otherwise, to most effectively support student development. I do my best to ensure that all of my students feel welcome and supported every time they walk through the doors.
