My Project
Help Us Build a Library and Computer Lab That Opens the World to Our Students
We’re transforming an underused space in our school into something extraordinary—a vibrant school library and computer lab that will serve as a hub for learning, exploration, and community connection.
But we need your help to bring this vision to life.
We’re seeking support to purchase 5 new iMacs to equip this new space with the technology our students need to thrive in a digital world. This library and lab will allow students to go beyond the walls of our classroom as we read, study, and explore different countries, communities, and cultures.
More than just a classroom, this space will also serve as a meeting room and community center, open to all students during the school day and to families in the evenings—providing vital access to books and technology that our community has not had before.
With your donation, you’ll help create a welcoming, inspiring environment where learning extends far beyond textbooks, empowering students with the tools they need to succeed today and into the future.
Thank you for helping us build something truly transformative.
