GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Wisconsin’s state treasurer visited a Green Bay school Monday.
State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski presented $1,148,651 to the Green Bay Area Public School District at Red Smith School.
Red Smith School plans to use these funds to update the library based on the needs of their students and to provide them with new books.
“Library Media Centers continually adapt to children’s educational needs in order to be vibrant learning centers for all children,” stated Amy Kline, Library Media Specialist for Red Smith School. “Today’s libraries are places for children to express their creativity through makerspaces, unleash their imagination as they choose new books to read, and gain social skills while collaborating with their peers.”
The money comes from the Common School Fund, which makes annual distributions that fund books and technology for every school district in the state.
