  • Cozy Reading Nooks for the Library!

    Funded Dec 21, 2023

    My students were delighted to see the new seating options in the library. The plush bean bags and comfortable chairs are just what we needed to make the library feel more inviting and enticing to young readers. The items in this project have allowed me to create separate reading areas that students genuinely enjoy. These are coveted seats during lunch, bringing in more visitors who want to sit and read.

    During class time, when entire classes come by to check out books, the students look forward to finding a good book and sitting down to enjoy independent reading time. Thanks to your generosity, students are no longer limited to our wooden chairs and tables. They now have other cozier and more comfortable options.

    Believe me when I say that your support has positively impacted my students.”

  • Books With Classic & Reimagined Superheroes

    Funded Aug 16, 2021

    Books with classic and re-imagined superheroes are books that are quickly becoming our students' favorites. Classic superhero stories can transport and captivate imaginations while helping to instill a genuine appreciation and passion for reading. While the stories of some unique but quirky superheroes can help our students envision themselves in these roles. Everyone needs a superhero! These books were very much needed in our library.
