My Students

Have you ever been in a room with more than one class? Help us stay organized and quiet!

Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library is the place that equalizes them.

We have students from around the block and around the world. We have students that are learning English and that are learning other languages. Give to a school that has many cultures, diversity, and adversity!

My Project

In our library, we have a center system. Small groups are working on computers, iPads, and at their tables. Please help us keep the computers and iPads quiet AND the tables organized. Headphones will give our students the tools to hear and be a part of all kinds of new experiences. They will be able to experience our databases' full range of materials, like video and audio, and be able to enhance their eBook reading with the read aloud feature. Our school is an international school and by using the Internet we could go around the world without ever leaving the library. This would open our students eyes to other cultures and ideas. The desk carry-alls will help keep our tables organized. This will help our students remember to be principled and care for their materials.

Every student will be impacted by this item because it will be used in the library.

Please help our students become more knowledgeable and excite their natural curiosity by giving them the tools to find information on their own.
