SALT LAKE CITY — Kids at Meadowlark Elementary got a Christmas surprise a few hours before the start of holiday break.
The doors crashed open to reveal their library makeover.
“Woohoo, let’s go in!” shouted excited students.
They marveled at the new books, paint and furniture. It was such a contrast to their old library.
“It was a pretty barren place,” said principal Heidi Greene. “Our walls were maybe three pastel colors. The books were tattered and worn.”
KSL’s Read Today and High Five teams partnered with the Deseret News to provide a much needed update.
Employees from America First Credit Union helped paint bright colors on the walls.
Element Capital helped donate new tables and comfortable furniture. Read Today donated money for books.
The makeover made their library much more inviting.
