My Students

I am delighted to serve as the school librarian and STEAM program director at a small school in a rural area. While many of my students are greatly impacted by poverty and family issues--and, more recently, the pandemic--they still retain an incredible sense of curiosity and wonder that they share with me each day, and their enthusiasm never ceases to amaze me.

Their love of reading and learning new things, both via text and tech, is truly a thing of beauty.

My Project

The furniture in the main gathering area of our library is quite possibly as old as our school building, which was constructed in the 1950s. The laminate is peeling away from the tabletops, the table legs are dangerously wobbly, and the tables themselves are extremely difficult to move.

A safe, bright, and welcoming environment promotes better learning!

New furniture that is safer, more functional, and more aesthetically pleasing will enhance students' learning during collaborative library lessons, since it will enable classes to move tables together more readily.

We're a small Title I school, which means that our budget is correspondingly small. That doesn't mean, however, that our students don't deserve a lovely library. Having furniture that is downright decrepit sends the wrong message to our kids: that they aren't worth it. They are. Please help us to make our space a place in which kids can completely and safely enjoy spending time. With your assistance, they can turn the tables!
