New Reading Corner Enhances Charles Barrett Elementary School's Library
Charles Barrett Elementary School in Alexandria has received a significant boost to its library, thanks to generous donations from Reading Is Fundamental, the North Star Foundation, and Amazon. The new reading corner, complete with custom murals by artist Shawn James, comfortable seating, and hundreds of new books, was officially unveiled recently.
The project, which took six months to complete, was made possible by a $75,000 donation from the North Star Foundation for the construction of the reading corner. Principal Loren Brody described the new space as a "key that unlocks opportunities for students' futures."
In addition to the North Star Foundation's contribution, Amazon donated $75,000 for the school and an additional 500 backpacks filled with books and supplies. Principal Brody expressed that the new reading corner provides students with the opportunity to explore new books and ideas, while Alexandria City Public Schools Superintendent Melanie Kay-Wyatt stated that the reading nook offers students a different way to connect with learning.
Kay-Wyatt expressed her gratitude for the partners who helped build the school's literacy library, stating that the donations were used to create a new reading corner in the school library. The new reading corner aims to boost student literacy and fill students with excitement about reading and literacy.
Brody described the new space as a "game-changer" for the school, providing a comfortable and inviting space for students to read and learn. The reading corner features custom murals by artist Shawn James, which add a touch of creativity and inspiration to the space.
The mural and space development for the reading corner were done over the summer, and the new space was officially unveiled to students and staff in September. The donations and partnerships have made a significant impact on the school's library, providing students with a wealth of resources to help them succeed academically.
In conclusion, the new reading corner at Charles Barrett Elementary School is a testament to the power of partnership and the importance of literacy. The new space is already making a positive impact on students' lives, and it is sure to continue to inspire and engage students for years to come.
