Ridgewood High School moves one step closer to a Modern Learning Commons

Ridgewood NJ , The campaign to transform the Ridgewood High School Library into a new library/media center with flexible spaces for today’s students has raised over $ 597,000 and is closing in on its goal of $850,000.
According to the Learning Commons website the current library is the most utilized room in the school, visited by more than 1,700 students each day. It is more than 48 years old and is no longer compatible with the way today’s students interact and learn. With your support, the vision of a new Learning Commons — with attractive and efficient research and study space — can become a reality for the students at Ridgewood High School.
The Learning Commons will feature:
A state-of-the-art research center
Multi-purpose space for teaching and group study
Comfortable and inviting areas for individual and quiet study
Many opportunities for creativity and collaboration
We ask the support of the entire Ridgewood community to achieve our vision. The RHS Learning Commons Committee will hold a parent meeting on Tuesday, December 11 at 7:30 p.m. to solicit feedback and share ideas about the design of the new facility. All parents and guardians in the school district are invited to attend. For more information, please e-mailLori Weil at weils5@me.com.
Our fundraising goal is $850,000! Please donate today! https://rhslearningcommons.com/
