Help us Rebuild the HGS Library

Help me give my students a library full of books for all grade levels to enjoy.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Corson's classroom raised $781

This project is fully funded

My Project

Two years ago, a pipe burst in the ceiling of our library, causing a major flood. Because of this flood, all of the surviving books had to be stored in an empty classroom while the library underwent repairs.

Unfortunately, we lost 2,000 books - and we are still trying to replace them.

While we did receive insurance money to cover some of the loss, it wasn't nearly enough to fill our shelves back up.

Hancock Grammar School is a very small school full of kids who have deep passions for reading. Please consider helping me bring back what we lost and make this library as plentiful as it once was!
