My Project

Many of our students visit the library during lunch. They use this time to check out books, work on assignments, or simply find a quiet place to read. For others, the library is a great place to connect with friends over a game or a puzzle.

Our school library is a hub of activity during lunch period.

Unfortunately, our current collection of games and puzzles has seen better days. Many are missing pieces or are broken, making it impossible for students to play them. This is where we need your help.

Please consider donating toward the purchase of new board games and puzzles for our middle school students. With your help, we can provide our students the opportunity to decompress , reconnect and have some fun during their free time.

Mrs. Burns will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by Thursday, December 18.
