My Project
After several years closed to students, the reopening of our school's library this September has created a buzz of excitement among all stakeholders. As we settle into the school year and responsibilities start to pile up, I want to provide students with activities to destress, unwind, center themselves, and ultimately have fun.
It's important that students have a non-academic space where they can simply be.
The library is ready to be a place to take a brain break, connect with peers, and remember that school is about more than just tests and assignments, and we would love to have some of the requested items to support that endeavor.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
