My Students

The students at our school are bright, inquisitive people. They are motivated by engaging activities and resources. All of our students have the potential to develop and grow in their love for reading... which will increase their academic and personal achievement.

My Project

We are remodeling our library into an exciting new place to promote the love of reading for all grade levels!

Our 5-6 graders will have a new Young Adult section with books just for them.

There will be many titles to choose from... they will feel the love in their special section!

For all ages a new Library Lounge section is being created to allow for a comfy, relaxing reading spot. It will include a new look that stands out! What better way to help instill and grow the love for reading a good book!
