Library to get new books, courtesy of the accounting class

by Tommy Verdon

This year the accounting class shirt sale raised $335.25 with the help of everyone who decided to spend their money on buying the clothing when they could have spent the money on other needs, such as food and bills.

With all of this money raised, the class decided to give the money to someone that is in the building. They thought that this person was very grateful and deserved to upgrade something that they have spent most of their life devoted to. That special person is Mrs. Marowelli, the high school librarian. The class thought that it was a good time to donate to the library’s need of new books that could replace all of the old ones that fall apart when you open them. “We think that the library could benefit from the money and we can get some better books because we have a lot of really old ones that are falling apart,” explained senior accounting student Casie Bail.

Mrs. Marowelli was so excited to find out what the library was being gifted. “I’m so ecstatic,” replied Mrs. Marowelli. She would also love to get some new books. “New books that kids will love to read,” are high on the priority list, said Mrs. Marowelli.
