My Project
We are seeking funding to support engaging and immersive "Book Tasting" events in our school library. These events are designed to spark student interest in reading by transforming the library into a café-style setting where students can sample a variety of books across genres. Grant funds will be used to purchase essential supplies such as tablecloths, menus, decorations, bookmarks, and book displays to create an inviting, café-like atmosphere. Possible themes include "Taco Bout Books", "Donut Forget to Read", etc. This initiative promotes literacy, student choice, and a lifelong love of reading in a fun, interactive environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
