My Project

The windows are open, the flowers are blooming and the cheers from the playground are just a little louder...summer's siren call permeates the school, but hey kids, we're not done yet!

Please help provide books of solve-it mysteries, logic puzzles and enticing, fast-paced brain games to help neurons keep firing all the way our very last day of school!

A few new goodies strategically placed and shared will do wonders to help engage students to solve problems and think outside the box as well as encourage cooperation and creative problem-solving. Dav Pilkey's Dogman is wildly popular at our school and the kids would be thrilled to have the chance to play new games featuring this character, and the Spot-It challenges are a hit with the older set. Having these at the ready will make our school library the hot spot whether or not the sun is shining. These fun and challenging materials will be used, housed and enjoyed across grade levels in the school library until the last day of school and then again throughout the following school year.

Brain boosts! Cranium cooking! Thought tonic! Noggin nudges! Whatever you call it, with your help, we'll be bringing out the best in our students from end to beginning and back again.
