For the past eight weeks, we have been working on raising funds for the Glenside Library. We created a fundraising letter and sent them to the faculty, staff and administrators at Penn State Berks. We received a lot of help and support from the librarians in Thon Library during the process.

We met with Mrs. Fisher for the second time on April 16th, 2019. We turned in the checks and cash that we’ve collected from the school faculty and members. We also ordered the books from the S.T.E.A.M. website. When the books come in, we will meet with Mrs. Fisher again to create sponsor labels and send thank you letters to the sponsors.

We’ve made a poster to conclude our fundraising project and the research topic, acid rain. We will be presenting our project in Gaige lobby on April 18th and  in the Perkins Plaza and walkway between Gaige and the Library on Earth Day, April 22nd .

We met Ms. Fisher for the first time on Feb 15th. Ms. Fisher asked us to raise funds to help students at Glenside Elementary School gather science-related books. In order to thank the professors who donated money for this project, we will mark their names on the cover of the book as donors. We will raise funds at Penn State Berks and should have our donation back by the last week of March. Before the deadline for donation, we have almost 6 weeks for raising the money, we decide to talk about the plan that how we raise the funds among professors and students at Penn State Berks. And for the last five weeks, we will try our best to raise more money and have a meeting with Ms. Fisher to talk about the catalogue of the books that we want to buy.  In April, after the books delivered, we will arrange the books in the library and make the labels for all the donors.
