My Project

A very diverse middle school group of students deserves new titles to quench their thirst for knowledge and representation. Trying to meet this goal yearly is becoming increasingly more difficult as the district faces budget cuts annually.

Our students not only want to see themselves represented in the books available, but look forward to learning about others as well.

Please help to make our goal a reality for the students at Neptune Middle School and the library which serves them.

Thank you in advance. We look forward to restocking our shelves.
