My Project

Our elementary school library is a vibrant hub for learning, reading, research, and creativity. Students in grades K–6 visit regularly for library lessons, book checkout, tech projects, and more. They are curious, bright, and eager to explore ideas and express themselves—both digitally and on paper!

My Project

Our library is in need of a reliable color laser printer to support a wide range of learning activities. From student-created book reviews and research reports to colorful reading incentive charts, library newsletters, and collaborative art or STEM projects, the ability to print in color makes learning come alive.

Currently, we lack access to a color printer that can handle regular school use. This donation will allow us to print high-quality student work, visual learning tools, reading materials, and displays that brighten our space and inspire engagement.

Why It Matters

Color printing isn’t just about making things look nice—it helps students visualize concepts, take pride in their work, and feel seen. A quality printer will help us:

Print student-created posters, poems, and projects

Create eye-catching displays and book recommendation boards

Offer printed reading guides, scavenger hunts, and literacy games

Communicate with families through newsletters and flyers

Support special events like Read Across America, author visits, and book fairs

With your help, we can bring more color, creativity, and connection into our school library. Thank you for supporting our readers and future leaders!
