My Project

We are excited to present a proposal for enhancing our middle school library to better serve our students. With your support, we aim to acquire updated and popular reading material to nurture a love for reading among our young learners. Additionally, we seek funding for wireless barcode scanners to streamline our self-serve book checkout station, promoting independence and efficiency. Furthermore, we hope to replace worn-down furniture with new chairs to create a more conducive and comfortable environment for studying and reading. Your contribution will not only enrich the educational experience of our students but also foster a sense of community within our school.

Together, we can empower our students and cultivate a passion for learning.

Thank you for considering our proposal.

Mrs. Stephanie will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 14.
