My Project

In the library, we serve all of the teachers and all of the students in the building in a number of ways. This project has the goal of helping provide the library with a few things that will make getting materials and resources out to teachers and students a little easier!

We are excited to use the Astro-Brights to add color to many spaces around the library and the school.

The galvanized drip pan will be a great space to add to our play time, where students can use a variety of magnet items like Magna-Tiles ands ight word magnets. The shredder with be a great addition to our space as well as we do a lot of work with student data that needs to be shredded when we are done.
