Investor
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Spurlino Foundation - $1,950.00
Project Goal
Being a STEM school, we want to provide more non-fiction reading opportunities to our students.
How Project Benefits Students
There is a great interest in animals in our school and a lack of books to fulfill that interest. I want to create a Wild About Reading section in the media center that would focus on animals and include books for all grade levels. A reading nook will be created to house these books and spark interest in reading non-fiction books.
Expected Outcome(s)
We expect students will find a love for reading non-fiction books with a subject in which they already have an interest. This will increase check out in the non-fiction section and improve reading motivation and skills.
Detailed Cost Summary
Books will be purchased using best available deals from vendors to maximize the amount of books. A specific bookcase and furniture will be purchased to create a special area in the library for this section.
