Help me give my students accessible and engaging book sets to foster their love of reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ness's classroom raised $575

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Thanks for your consideration in supporting my readers! I am asking for individual and sets of graphic novels for my classroom library. My students have fallen in love with Dog Man, Amulet, and the BabySitters club graphic novels.

My students read the few graphic novels I have until they fall apart.

Many of my kids do not have easy access to books at home. School is where they have the opportunity to explore books, and therefore, fall in love with reading. Contributing to this project would increase the amount of books my kids have access to exponentially. Thanks again for your consideration.
