Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

At our small charter school, we do not have a library, the only one we have is a small library in the classroom. This project will help me to expose them to new and interesting books, that will take their imaginations to new heights. I would love to fund this all on my own but in reality, I can't and I am looking for help in this area. Any donation to help my students and I would be amazing! I truly want to make my students fall in love with reading!
