My Project

Visiting the library is a beloved weekly tradition for many students. However, sadly not every child always feels joy when entering the library and I am on a mission to change that outlook!

Libraries are the heartbeat of an elementary school.

Help us to revive the library with new books and materials for the prize bin. By providing new and fresh materials for the library, we are aiming to change the perception from drab to fab! We are requesting materials for the prize bin, such as new pencils, stickers, and erasers for kindergarten through fifth graders. We are also requesting materials such as puppets to make read alouds more interactive. Help us breath life into the library!
