My 7th grade classes contain a diverse mixture of students. Our rural school district in Marion, Ohio has over 60% of students living in poverty and receiving free or reduced lunch. Many do not have access to reading material at home or the means to go to a public library. I know that maintaining and building a classroom library is so important to help my students' literacy skills grow, but as a newer teacher, my funds are very limited. Any support given would be greatly appreciated by my kiddos. They get so excited to have new books to read!
