My Project

Our students are real troopers. We have been displaced from our normal campus for construction, and many of them are finding themselves right back at the Middle School they just finished up at. The AC in our classroom leaves much to be desired. They need a space that is comfortable to learn in. I’ve also created a reading nook, hence the Harry Potter set. We begin each class with sustained silent reading, so adding to my selection will be helpful. More choices to choose from, and I have zero Harry Potter books in my collection.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
