The New Library!

Our school won a $100,000 Library Makeover with the help of Heart of America, Target, and the NFL Association! Not only did we get the makeover, but Target donated 2,000 new books to our library and also gave each student 7 books to take home. Here is a picture of what the old library looked like...



And here is what it looks like now...





This past Wednesday, our school held a huge celebration for the new library. There was an arts and crafts area where students got to decorate flags and trophies. NFL players Dez Bryant, Sam Young, Patrick Crayton and Chris Gronkowski came to kick off our celebration and read books to the students. The other teachers and I were happy to get a picture with Crayton! My students were absolutely amazed with the library transformation and look forward to our library time now!
