Ace Literacy

Help me give my students a fun and inspirational learning experience by providing books and educational games that will add positivity to the learning environment.

My Project

My project will give my students a fun and inspirational learning experience by providing books and educational games that will add positivity to the learning environment.

My students come from environments that do not necessarily lend themselves to reading opportunities.

Some households do not have books or games. I want my students to enjoy coming to school. I want my students to look forward to socializing, learning, and creating wonderful, childhood memories within the school environment. I am on a mission to make school more interesting for our young people.
