AJK Books Would Like to Help, How About You?

My students need books for science resources.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lantinga's classroom raised $177

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our library is defunct and we need books! Current books about the people of science is hard to come by.

I teach an amazing group of gifted and talented students who just love to learn.

Our library hasn't been up and running in the three years that I've been in the building, and we need reliable resources that cannot be copied and pasted from the Internet.

My Project

My students need biographies, interesting graphic novels, and just the facts kind of books to add to their learning resources. Learning about Bill Gates, African American Inventors and other great scientists is essential to our up-and-coming generation.

AJK Books has offered to match funds donated to projects such as this one, so won't you please join in making learning go a little "old school" and help us get books for our science classroom?!?
