My Project

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community, we’re redeeming gift codes from our amazing parents to help expand our library collection. Every donation helps us add new books, educational materials, and resources that will inspire a love of reading and learning in our students. With these gift codes, we can bring in a diverse range of books tailored to all reading levels, backgrounds, and interests—fostering curiosity and supporting literacy skills. Thank you for empowering our readers and making a meaningful difference in our library! Our MSCS community will enjoy reading all of these new books.
