My Project
Our library provides a fun and safe space for students to learn and grow. This library sees over 500 students throughout the year and houses numerous books on all subjects. Our students use this space to read, learn, explore, and grow. Many programs are hosted in the library throughout the year for students, staff, and teachers.
New shelves and bookmarks will enhance our library and create an updated space.
The book shelves will be used to display authors and topics that will broaden student knowledge. The bookmarks and other library supplies add to the fun and welcoming space
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
