Q&A

When was the library furniture last updated?

The furniture in the library is 38 years old! The last update was in 1987 and the entire library, including the furnishings, have significant wear and tear from their heavy use.

How much is being raised?

We’re raising $80,000 to cover furniture, design, delivery and installation costs.

What will happen to the old furniture?

Items that are in still usable condition will be distributed to other rooms throughout the school. Other items will be donated or sold with proceeds being returned to the school.

Why isn’t this being funded from the school budget?

Critical infrastructure items such as fixing the roof and updating the HVAC systems have taken priority over updating the library in the school budget. Yet, we believe there is strong support for our school, and that as a community we can come together to give our students a refreshed library where they can learn and thrive.

When are the funds needed?

Our goal is to complete fundraising by March 2026.

When will the library be updated?

If our fundraising is successful, the library update will be completed over the 2026 summer and in use for the ‘26-’27 school year.

What can I do to help?

Please consider a donation and help us get the word out. Any amount is helpful and appreciated.
