  • Project Read A Book

    Funded Dec 18, 2021

    Thank you for the contact paper and journals. We are so excited to be able to transform the library learning commons and build greater student choice and voice in our school district.

    This high school library is a safe haven for all of our students. They enjoy discovery, exploring and learning in the school library. These resources will give them the ability to plan, design and be creative all at the same time. By enhancing and beautifying the library learning commons, students will feel great about their school, their learning environment and also fell valued. This is all possible through your donations.

    Thank you and God bless you!”

  • Reflecting + Making = Creativity

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    Research indicates that reflective thinking is best for personal growth and for analyzing mistakes. It is through mistakes and failure that we learn to think critically, think outside the box and regroup and reapproach what we are trying to achieve. Your donation is making all that possible.

    These journals are already loved and appreciated. Please see how happy our scholars are to not only have journals, but have journals with covers that represent them...covers that are diverse, inclusive and equitable.

    Thank you for supporting school libraries and public school children!”

  • Wreck This Journal

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    Thank you for supporting public school children and school libraries. We are excited to use journals and just have fun creating our own artistic and hands on journals. With making comes failure and that helps kids learn how to problem solve, regroup and thinking outside of the box. This creates resilience that transfers over to academics. When you make learning fun, children are excited to get started and do more as they learn faster.

    Thank you for your generous donations. We will start designing and planning, but most importantly reflecting. We cannot wait to get started. The kids are thrilled to have the chance for hands on learning that is fun, different and personalized. these activities are possible thanks to you!

  • Author Illustrator Visits Make Library Fun

    Funded Nov 16, 2021

    Thank you for supporting virtual illustrator visits. These past two school years have been difficult and have really left kids emotionally impacted, isolated and feeling forlorn. This visit will excite, inspire and motivate them to reconnect, follow their dreams and to never give up.

    In the past, we have had author visits, but artists visits are so special since so many kids love to draw and try their hands at art. Your generous donation makes all this possible and virtual, too, so the sky is the limit.

    Thank you again and God bless you.”

  • Fab Lab = Innovation

    Funded Nov 19, 2021

    Thank you for funding supplies and materials for the school library fab lab. You are directly supporting public school children, innovation, making, tinkering and discovery. Now the kids will be excited to put down their phones and stop scrolling social media and playing games.

    The U.S. Dept of Education says the new digital divide is between those that passively consume technology and those that actively utilize it to create. Thank you for providing opportunities to reach and teach the next Steven Jobs.

    God bless you.”

  • Chocolate Virtual Tasting - Part 2

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    Thank you for your generous donation. You supported professional development. I was able to teach the school library media specialists how to use food to support family engagement and their learning community in the library learning commons. Through a virtual chocolate visit from a chocolatier from Ethan M., we learned how to focus on sight, smell, feel and use adjectives to describe each chocolate piece.

    Librarians were thoroughly engaged and loved learning. They said this was the best day ever and that they never knew learning could be this fun. Your donation made all this possible.

    Thank you and God bless you!”

  • Books, Books & More Books

    Funded Oct 21, 2021

    Thank you for supporting public school children and school libraries. Libraries are the great equalizer. They allow children to tinker, learn and discover things they did not know about or are curious of. Books promote independent learning, personal growth and greater intelligence and reflection.

    Your donation helps to instill powerful dispositions and to build student choice, voice and ultimately agency. It won't be long before you hear about our kids winning awards and making a tremendous difference.

    Thank you again and God bless you!”

I am an 21st year school library media specialist in the public schools in an urban city school district. There are approximately 2,250 students that come through my library doors. I believe in setting high standards and stimulating a child through the use of art and technology to further develop academic skills. I believe that children need to be provided with opportunities to communicate, collaborate and create. Fostering a love of literacy and providing children with choice will build innovators, leaders and a culture of creativity. Support school libraries as they help to equalize the playing field.
