A Little More Sunshine In Our Books

My students need boxed sets of "Harry Potter" and "A Series of Unfortunate Events" titles, along with single copies of 7 Florida Sunshine State Books, which include "Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat" and "Me and the Pumpkin Queen".

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Miller's classroom raised $481

This project is fully funded

I teach a wonderful third grade class in Florida. My class is comprised of an evenly diverse population. A large portion of my class includes students that need additional academic support and materials. Our school and our students are wonderful, but we are a public school facing the series of budget crunches (like many schools) and depend on supporters to help our children.

This project is designed to get my students to read the Florida Sunshine State Books, Harry Potter Books, and the Unfortunate Series Books. Our school has a student population of almost 900 students, and the school library has only a limited number of these books to offer our students. I would like to help my students have access to these books in my classroom. With your support, my students will have these books at their disposal right in the classroom.

This project is designed to get my students to read books that will challenge them to read a diverse selection of books. These are all Florida State Sunshine Books, the Harry Potter Series, and The Unfortunate Series Books. By receiving these books, you are helping put one of these great titles into the hands of eager readers in my third grade class.

By choosing to support this project, your will be supporting the excitement and imagination of my students as they read some of the most outstanding novels written for children of their ages. This project is important to me as it helps put more great books into the hands of my students. I strongly feel that no student should be limited to access of any great books.
