C. W. Henry LaunchPad
Donation protected
This is the GoFundMe for fundraising C. W. Henry's Multimedia Library Center: The LaunchPad.
Imagine an engaging, comfortable space where students and teachers come together to learn, explore, investigate and discover…a space where students are information producers, not just consumers…
As you enter the LaunchPad, our Multimedia Library Center, you may see some students creating imovies on desktop computers while others curl up on cozy chairs, lost in the pages of a favorite book. At the Makerspace, budding engineers use paper circuits to design greeting cards that light up!
In order to transform our Computer Lab into a 21st century Multimedia Library Center, we need high quality fiction and non-fiction texts, a library management system, mobile bookshelves, comfortable seating, and MakerSpace supplies.
Appropriate library systems and technology will enable our students to check out books, conduct thoughtful and informed research, and improve their media literacy skills. Our MakerSpace will foster innovation without the fear of failure. We believe these opportunities will improve reading levels and test scores, develop technological skills, and instill a lifelong passion for reading.
Each dollar donated to this GoFundMe page will be matched by The Neubauer Foundation and will go towards making The LaunchPad a success for every student. Funds raised before November 30, 2017 will be matched by the grant.
