This December, during the Manchester Township School District's Winter Break, Manchester Township High School (MTHS) student Ella Rajcok was busy finalizing her very special National Honor Society (NHS) project.
As a Junior MTHS NHS member, Ella is required to complete 10 community service hours but went above and beyond through the building and installation of a Little Free Library at Manchester Township Elementary School (MTES)!
According to Little Free Library's website, this is a “take a book, share a book” free book exchange. These libraries come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common version is a small wooden box of books which is what Ella has built for MTES. The concept was developed so that the community can take a book or bring their favorite books to share. Little Free Library book exchanges have a unique, personal touch which Ella captured not only by installing this Little Free Library at the elementary school where her siblings attend but also by personalizing the design to reflect the MTES mascot and school district colors!
Located near the MTES playground bench, the community is invited to visit and enjoy the MTES Little Free Library (ideally, before and after school hours!) Thank you to Ella for sharing her leadership and creativity through this project with the MTES and Manchester community
