LMC<br />
Renovations<br />
The idea behind “Project LMC” was to promote<br />
reading by creating a comfortable, more welcoming<br />
area for students and classes to come and enjoy this<br />
pastime.<br />
The new, modern, low book cases have enabled us to<br />
make students aware of what a fantastic book<br />
collection we actually have by displaying old and new<br />
books in a more attractive and encouraging way and<br />
most importantly the books are more accessible to<br />
everyone, especially our mobility students. The<br />
project was funded through a range of fund raising<br />
activities and contributions from the PTFA and the<br />
Jack Petchey Foundation. It has taken over a year to be<br />
completed and could not have been successful without<br />
the help of several people who went out of their way to<br />
make the project achievable.<br />
Our acknowledgement and thanks go to the following<br />
people who helped make the completion of the project<br />
possible:<br />
The Parents Association (a big thank you as they<br />
kindly donated £1,050), Site Officers, particularly<br />
Mr Palmer (who dismantled and erected the old book<br />
cases, which was a mammoth job), Jack Petchey<br />
Foundation (grant towards comfy chairs and new<br />
books), Mrs Bolton, Hayley’s grandma (for knitting<br />
mobile sock cases to sell), Mrs Puttock (surveying<br />
advice), The Parents (for making cakes and biscuits<br />
to sell), Leah Year 9, Leyla Year 13 (for giving up their<br />
time to sort books), all the LMC Monitors (for<br />
bringing in cakes and sorting books), Year 10 Students<br />
Poppy, Lauren, Sophie, Adi, Katy, Ryan, Paige, Sarah,<br />
Year 7 and 8 students Ayla, Ela, Charlotte, Tianna,<br />
Eleanor (who all came in half term to organise the<br />
books and get the area ready), Tianna and Charlotte (a<br />
particular mention as they came in early and<br />
sometimes worked late nearly every day during half<br />
term), Sam and Ryan (for scanning old books to sell<br />
on webuybooks.com resulting in a £126 profit)<br />
The nominations of the house competition to name<br />
Woodcote’s new reading area were:<br />

Paradise City Book Lounge – Charlotte, Thompson<br />
House<br />
Star Books – Kimisha, Moore House<br />
Reading Lounge – Charlotte, Thompson House<br />
Bookworm City – Aretha, Redgrave House<br />

A final decision was made to name it the ‘Reading<br />
Lounge’.
