Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy Receives Thousands of Books from Crayons to Computers
New library at CCPA.
The Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy (CCPA) was excited about their new library, but they didn't have enough books to fill its shelves. Their goal was 10,000 books (almost 10 per student), but they only had 1,000. Once we heard their story, we pulled together 6,000 books from our inventory and delivered them to the school, bringing them much closer to their goal. Students and faculty were all smiles as they helped unload the trucks. 

For more on this story, please visit WCPO.

How can Crayons to Computers help your school? Contact Stefanie Clayton with inquiries.
