My Project

Our library is in need of quality headphones so the scholars can do their research quietly, without disturbing others completing different activities. The headphones need to have quality cloth-covered cords that will not break, ear cushions that insulate the sound, and a headband that is flexible and easily adjusts.

Our library needs some brightening, love, and Social-Emotional reminders.

We would love to have modern posters with positive affirmations to lighten up the room and encourage every child that walks through my door that they are beautiful, smart, and loved! Thank you for considering our grant! We appreciate you!

Our scholars need quality headphones to complete their research during their Library Special! Plus, we would love to add positive affirmations to boost them around the school every day!
