My Students

The students at our great school are vibrant, enthusiastic, excited kids who have gained so many opportunities within the walls of this school than they may ever have had on their own.

Our students enjoy reading and love picking out books of their very own in our school library!

Help us better organize our books so students can locate their favorites more quickly and easily, ensuring each student finds exactly the right book for them!

My Project

Some of the most popular book series in our library are crammed onto shelves and are hard for some students to find independently. The books end up scattered around and laying in piles! Our shelves are metal and open-backed so it's tough for kids to keep them neat for the next class that comes along. Last year I bought bins for our graphic novel series and circulation went through the roof!

Help us get bright book bins for our most popular series for easier locating and browsing, and therefore more books in students' hands!
