A Waimanalo school received a library makeover thanks to Target Corporation.

Students, faculty, parents and community members gathered at Blanche Pope Elementary School on Monday for the special unveiling ceremony.

dck pacific construction, along with 150 people from various local businesses, donated their time to transform the facility. According to project manager William Maguire, crews labored for approximately 500 hours over the past several weeks to complete the task.

"dck pacific believes in being a good community partner, especially when it comes to education," dck pacific executive vice president and general manager Roger Peters said.

More than 400 Blanche Pope Elementary School students, staff, community leaders and Target volunteers will be present for the unveiling ceremony and tour of the school library’s dramatic makeover on Monday, May 23.

The unveiling of the redesigned library is part of the Target School Library Makeover program, and one of the many ways Target acts locally to help kids learn and schools teach.

The Target School Library Makeover program is also one way Target is helping to address the education crisis in America and put more children on the path to graduation. Since the Target School Library Makeover program's inception in 2007, the company has transformed 76 school libraries across the country and donated tens of thousands of volunteer hours to support these projects.

Through programs like this one, Target is on track to reach a total of $1 billion in giving to education, with a focus on reading, by the end of 2015.

The public is invited to join the Kailua High School Class of 1981 for a fundraiser on Sunday, May 29 at Boardriders Bar & Grill.

The Surfriders fundraiser will feature dancing, pupus, raffles and music from the eighties and earlier.

A $10 donation will be collected at the door. Attendees must be 21 and older.
