My Project
What I love most about my students is their enthusiasm, creativity, and love for learning. No matter what challenges they face, they come into the library ready to explore, read, and grow. Our library is a special place for them—a space where they can imagine, discover, and take a break from the busy school day.
Right now, we’re working to rebuild and refresh our library space, but many of our chairs are broken or on the verge of falling apart.
These ottomans will help us create a more welcoming, flexible, and safe environment where students can comfortably read, collaborate, and learn. With new seating, our students will feel valued and supported—and that makes all the difference in how they learn and engage.
Nearly all 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
