My Students

There are students in our city, and surrounding counties, who have everything they need. There are students on the other end of the spectrum that are lacking basic supplies. My school, much like our city is a diverse and creative community from all walks of life.

I am proud to be a librarian at a school with students who can learn from one another’s cultural and socio-economic differences, and family make-up.

My school embraces and welcomes all families, making it a true neighborhood school. Our parents give of themselves, our teachers and administration are good people, and our students are our passion.

My Project

My students love coming to the library and especially enjoy listening to read alouds! We enjoy sitting on the carpet and listening to and discussing a great book, but it tends to get uncomfortable sitting on the carpet for longer periods of time, especially for the older elementary students. This flexible seating will allow my students to sit comfortably and listen attentively to our lesson. Students will also have a cozy spot to read some of the awesome books they check out. These seats will be easy to clean and protect.
