The Internet Library Cafe**

While working on posts and adding to their homeroom teachers' pages, students and Mrs. Farnum came up with a plan. This plan would provide students greater opportunity to work on projects, review for tests, or simply work on assignments. This would also be a way for students to work together and collaborate with other students or teachers.


 * Part 1: Public Internet Library Cafe.** This would be located in the Graettinger and Terril libraries. After creating a team and approving the idea with administration and the school board, the public libraries would be contacted. The libraries would be asked to purchase a port that would allow wireless Internet access. Within the libraries, an area would be designated to allow students a calm work space environment. This initiative would increase the flow of people through the libraries, improve its image, and help the school and community to recognize the significance of having a library in a small town.


 * Part 2: School Internet Library Cafe.** An Internet work space hub would also be a nice addition to the school library. Envision the Borders and Barnes & Noble atmosphere... we would like to emulate that but with an academic twist. The library could be renovated meaning rearranged. Students could use this space to charge up when necessary. Another suggestion made is the inclusion of coffee, juice, bars, cookies, or even fruit for students and staff. Each class raises money in different ways: the freshman collect class dues each semester, the sophomores have a monthly bake sale, the juniors run the concession stand, and the seniors save the money that they have collected through their three years of doing those fundraisers. As a high school fundraiser that could include each of the four classes that could be a weekly fundraiser. Each class could replenish the supply of snacks or drinks in the Cafe, so the classes could be split up into five groups and assigned something to bring each day; the weeks could be assigned since there are four weeks in a month and four classes in the high school. This is just one way to do this; there are other was we could approach it such as a cross disciplinary endeavor between the business education and foods management classes.
