My Project

The students at WEGA come to school each day full of life, love, and resilience. Even though many face challenging circumstances at home, they arrive eager to learn and grow. Our school library plays a vital role in supporting literacy, curiosity, and academic success. Unfortunately, due to previous budget constraints, our students have not had access to this essential resource, as we have been unable to staff the library with a media specialist.

We are thrilled to share that our 2025–2026 school year budget will allow us to hire a librarian and begin reopening the library.

However, in order to truly revitalize the space and make it welcoming and functional for our K–5 students, we need additional support. Much of our library furniture is outdated and uninviting. Our goal is to transform the library into an engaging, student-centered environment—with flexible seating, cozy reading nooks, and areas that inspire a love for books, learning, and exploration.

With your help, we can create a space where every child at WEGA feels encouraged to read, discover, and dream.
