My Students

Our school was built in 1964 and some of the books in our library are just as old

The students at our school love to read and they have many favorites, unfortunately these books have been checked out many times and need to be replaced.

It is a great feeling for parents to recommend books to their children that they read as children, so keeping these books up to date in our library is an important connection

My Project

These books will keep our students excited about reading and help parents be involved in their learning.Keeping that connection between the student, parent and school is such an important part of school today and parents can do this by reading the books they read as children with their children.

With the budget cuts in schools it is often hard to replace old books and keep up with all the new releases coming out, donations to this project will enable us to replace some well loved books

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
