A Modern Media Makeover

Help me give my students and teachers updated items for the media center!

My Project

Imagine a media center that buzzes with creativity, comfort, and community—a place where students are excited to learn and staff feel appreciated.

With your support, we hope to transform our space by adding a few key elements that make a big difference.

A coffee maker and supplies will give teachers a much-needed boost, showing them their hard work is valued. Sleek, new stools will energize our student-led newsroom, giving young broadcasters a professional, comfortable space to share their voices. Cozy reading chairs will invite students to curl up with a book, building a love for literacy in a calm, welcoming corner. These enhancements are more than just furniture and coffee—they’re investments in connection, inspiration, and joy. Help us reimagine our media center into a place where stories are shared, creativity thrives, and everyone feels at home. Your donation brings this vision to life—one cup, one seat, and one student at a time.
