My Project

My eight students put a smile on my face each day. They are unique and kind. Help us organize our classroom books by donating a bookshelf. The books are used daily, so they need to be accessible and stored properly. They need a durable shelf so that the students have better access to them as well as to protect the books from bending. This bookshelf should hold the majority of our library.

Our books are piled on top of each other on an old bookshelf that is not steady and can fall apart if we move it.

A new bookshelf will provide a place for our books that is necessary for learning and developing.
