The Story of a Staff Room, a Computer Lab and a Library!

When Waddington High School was built the Wayne Hagood Memorial Library was created for our students.  Over time it became necessary for the teachers to use the library as their only place to meet, grade papers, and have staff meetings.  Sometimes they resorted to putting desks outside to accomplish these tasks.  (Check out that stack of papers on the one teacher's desk.)

We found ourselves with two new goals:  to create a staff room so the the original Wayne Hagood Memorial Library could return to it's original purpose and to designate a room as a computer lab.  There were two classrooms on campus which need completed that could be used for these purposes.   We needed to raise $2700 to finish these rooms.  Thanks to sponsor Suzanne's school which raised $1534, a $1000 grant from another foundation, and our dedicated donors who contributed the remaining funds, we were able to fund the completion of the classrooms this summer!  (Laptop computer donations are most welcomed!)

What's really wonderful about all of this is that we not only have a long-needed staff room for our dedicated teachers use, and a future computer lab, but we also returned the library back to a full time library for all of our students to use!

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!
