Light, Camera, Read: Re-Opening the Media Center

Help me give my students beanbag chairs, a stanchion kit, a red carpet runner, and other items for a memorable grand re-opening of their school media center. After years of not having a media specialist, I want to ignite their love of reading with a Hollywood-themed grand opening.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Over the last few years, the students at my school have adapted without having a media center. The teachers have worked cooperatively to maintain the media center. After Gov. Ron DeSantis passed the law for every school to have a media specialist, I want this return to be memorable and ignite my students' love of reading.

I want to create an inviting environment with different centers that will motivate students to love literacy.

I plan to have areas where students can earn-to-use after they have read a book.
