My Students

There is nothing like a beautiful brand new library that is empty. We need your help to fill our beautiful library with non-fiction books to enlighten the minds of our 6-9 grade students.

Our students consist of grades 6-9 in a brand new building with a brand new library that has a very small non-fiction collection.

They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and attend a school with great potential and with a staff that is excited to enlighten their minds.

My Project

With the books that we are asking for, students will be able to find information on a variety of topics that interest them. It's pretty sad to have a library open but no students researching because there aren't enough books on a variety of topics to go around.

With your charitable donation our students can learn the joy of inquiry and curiosity in their school library, rather than having to do the majority of research at the public library.
