The Purpose of our Fundraiser

We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt appeal for your support in a noble cause that holds immense significance for our school—our School Library. Our school library is a cornerstone of learning and inspiration for our students. It is a place where knowledge meets imagination, and where the seeds of lifelong learning are sown. 

How Much Do We Need? 

Our library is in dire need of new bookshelves to house the growing collection of books and resources that our students rely on. To fulfill this vital need, we are aiming to raise $15,000. These funds will be used to purchase and install sturdy, spacious bookshelves that will enhance our library's functionality and aesthetics, creating an inviting and organized space for our students to explore the world of books.
