Target Donates $500 To Schuylerville Elementary Library
SCHUYLERVILLE – Schuylerville’s Elementary School Library collection will grow a little larger after a $500 for books donation from Target.
Officials from the Saratoga department store arrived on campus this week to present the donation and serve as guest readers for second-grade students.
“We’re very excited to be chosen to receive this award,” said Elementary School Librarian Maria Weeks. “Literacy and reading skills are the foundation for success in all subject areas, so we’re very appreciative of the additional books we’ll be able to purchase and share with our students.”
Second-graders who were in the library when the award was announced excitedly provided suggestions for the types of books to purchase with the donation. “In the end, we decided to build up our collection of books that tie in with the activities of our Green Ribbon School Team,” Weeks said. “We’re really looking forward to making the new books available to students and supporting our district’s ‘green’ events and programs.”
