Mrs. Sanborn from Jacksonville FL is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Let's Give 'em What They Want!

My students need a variety of books that they have placed on an extensive wish list. We are a school of 1650 kids from grades K-12. There are so many needs to fill.

My Students

To provide the titles that 1650 kids from age 5 to age 18 want to read is a HUGE undertaking- and an expensive one! We are a charter school so we do not receive as much funding as regular public schools. Kids do not read unless they have access to books they like.

This list focuses mostly on Teen selections.

This is the most difficult student population to please and keep engaged in reading. Many of these books were selected by my high school students. It is so imperative that I keep these students in love with reading.

My Project

These books will serve students today and years to come. Our library is the hub of activity at our school. Students line up to grab the newest books first. They are so excited whenever we acquire new titles. This year, I have had so many more high school students coming in because they hear that I am acquiring the books they actually want to read. This is powerful!

If you donate to this project, you are investing in the literacy and imaginations of thousands of children for years to come.

You are building a library in a time when people try to discredit the worth of libraries. I can attest that libraries are alive and thriving. Projects like this help them to survive. Thank you!
