My Project

Students who come into the library need seats that are comfortable and flexible to help them focus while working on research projects, reading, and library instructions. These seats will supplement our inflexible tall stools and tables in the library and will allow students to spread out in our space to work individually or in small groups.

These seats will be the start of our library space upgrades and will serve students in grades 5 - 8, as well as the faculty who use the library space for meetings.

Thank you for helping me make the library more welcoming and comfortable for everyone!

Mrs. Franzen
Grades 6-8
    More than half of students from low‑income households Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more

    This project will reach 300 students.
