On November 2nd, the Hennigan School unveiled a new library, thanks to the phenomenal partnership of Target and Heart of America, a non-profit literacy-focused foundation. For the third year in a row, Target and Heart of America have selected a Boston school to make over as part of Target's School Library Makeover Program. Complete with 2,000 new books, a state-of-the-art technology center, and eco-friendly design elements, the new library is bright and inspirational, just like the Hennigan Students. At the unveiling, students also took seven books for their home libraries.
Target incorporated its Meals for Minds program as part of this year's makeover, partnering with the Greater Boston Food Bank to establish a monthly food pantry site at the school's community center. The pantry will provide fresh fruits and vegetables, among other healthy food choices, to Hennigan families.
