Give to SBA’s Fund-a-Need — Library + Literacy
The library is the one academic space every student uses, every year. It supports literacy, research, history, science, religion, and project-based learning across all grade levels. When we invest in SBA’s library, we invest in every child, every teacher, and every classroom. This is not a single-program improvement—it strengthens the entire academic ecosystem of the school.
Why We’re Raising Funds Now
The last significant capital improvement to SBA’s library occurred in 2008. Over the past 18 years, our curriculum has evolved and technology has expanded, but the space has remained largely the same.
Today:
-
The current technology classroom does not accommodate our largest classes.
-
Full-height shelving limits natural light, flexibility, and collaboration.
-
The physical layout no longer aligns with modern learning environments.
What Your Gift Will Make Possible
We are creating a brighter, more dynamic space while preserving the library as a place of reflection, imagination, and formation.
Your donation will help SBA:
-
Expand the technology classroom, strengthening digital literacy and research skills.
-
Introduce lower shelving to increase natural light, improve supervision, and allow flexible learning zones.
-
Update and refresh key parts of the collection, especially resources used in meaningful grade-level projects (including signature experiences like Fifty Nifty and the Saints project) where materials have become outdated or worn.
The Impact: A Generational Investment
Students describe the library as a place of escape, imagination, and joy. A renovated library encourages reluctant readers, invites curiosity, and creates an environment where students want to spend their time—building habits that extend far beyond SBA.
This is more than a renovation. It’s a generational investment in literacy and intellectual formation.
Make your gift today to help renew SBA’s library and invest in every student’s learning.
Every donation—of any size—moves this vision forward.
