My Project

Our library has been super busy during lunches with over 100 students in the library during lunches each day. This excitement is awesome and encouraging to see, but the library resources are being depleted quickly! Our students have a 45-minute lunch to allow them to decompress between their classes and this is a great time for them to create a button or work on a Perler Bead project - which is part of why the library is so popular. Students can keep their work on trays and return to them over multiple days until they complete their project.

I'd like to replenish some of the consumable materials that students are using so that they can continue to create their projects and more students can benefit from their use and receive the socio-emotional benefits of play and decompression during their lunch.

Our students are from all over Baltimore and many commute across the city to attend this school for one of the 20 vocational and technical career pathways that we offer. We are the largest high school in the city and serve a diverse student population including students from multiple linguistic, ethnic, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. Creating together is one of the ways that they can build connections and forge new bonds.
