My Project

Dear Donors,

We are a public school on limited funds and want to give our K3-K5 students a library.

We have a room and some books but need library furniture.

Improving the literacy of our students is paramount. Creating a community space where they can gather and work on their reading skills with our staff and their families is our dream.

We consulted with local Librarians on how to best proceed and have put together the list of items that will make our library perfect. We are all hopeful to get the tables, chairs, special library shelving, and bins that have proven to work best for students in K3-K5.

Thank you for considering a donation. It means the world to us.

Be well,

Ms. Karla
