GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Howe Elementary held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday to unveil their newly renovated library media center, which was made possible through grant money received from the Packers Give Back Impact Grant.
The new media center features modern technology and workspace, which is being implemented to promote group collaboration.
Lori Blakeslee, Director of Communications for the Green Bay Area Public School District, believes this creates a more dynamic area.
“This brings in technology for collaboration and provides flexible seating,” says Blakeslee. “They could create small group environments, large group environments, or individual space for students to work.”
The grant money is also funding the implementation of more modern elements in the media center.
“Smartboards, a really neat Lego wall, and more upgraded technology,” said Blakeslee.
Thirteen other school library media centers are scheduled to undergo renovation through grants from the Green Bay Packers during the 2018-2019 school year.
“Several of them are underway already, as far as purchases being made for furniture and things like that,” said Blakeslee.
