Bryan Elementary receives the Laura Bush Library Grant!
Our school, Bryan Elementary, has been awarded a 2016 Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries grant! Bryan Elementary is one of only 130 school libraries across the country to receive this grant.
Our campus library will receive $6,800. The plan is to use the money for the purchase of books and materials to support the dual language program offered in the elementary grades at Mission CISD (Consolidated Independent School District).
The Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries provides grants of up to $7,000 to our nation’s neediest schools so they can extend, update, and diversify the book and print collections in their libraries with the goal of encouraging students to develop a love of reading and learning. Since its inception in 2002, it has awarded over $13.4 million to more than 2,500 schools across the country.
A big thank you goes out to the Laura Bush Foundation for Libraries for helping promote the love of reading!
