My Project

Help me give my students new books for our classroom library! We have so many ripped and torn books that are from the 70's! We need updated, fun books for our classroom!

Please donate and help give my students modern exciting books that they actually want to read!

Reading is the most important skill that students can learn in elementary school. In order to improve fluency, comprehension and overall love of reading, students need books that they actually want to read! Please donate so I can help my students grow their love of reading and learning!
