My Students

Have you ever been in a room with 30 computers "talking" at once? Chaos! Please help my students never be in that situation by giving to our project!

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

We won a wonderful BrainPop subscription, but it would be useless for individual use headphones! Please help my students use this great resource to its fullest extent by helping us get headphones! They will also 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!

Headphones will give our students the tools to hear and be a part of all kinds of new experiences.

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!
