Award Winning YA Novels to Update the Classroom Library

Help me give my students an updated classroom library with selected YA Novel Award Winner selections!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carneal's classroom raised $162

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school has an enrollment of more than 1,500 students of whom 34% are economically disadvantaged. We have a balance of 52% males and 48% females with our minority population at 52%. We have 75% of our students on free or reduced-price lunch.

Our school is in a suburban area.

It was built in 1970 and has a strong school spirit and ties to the community. Our school has an unusual percentage of teachers who graduated from here and returned later to teach. I jokingly warn the new ninth graders about drinking the water! Our school community is a close-knit group that looks out for each other. Thank you for considering my project for funding to help us.

My Project

Thank you for considering my project to update my classroom library with some award winning titles. Students stay up-to-date on the new novels coming out and often request if I have these particular titles. I love reading and have SSR in my classroom every week where students can select the book of their choice to read.

By having titles my students request, it encourages the love of reading and gives a variety of choice to my students when I have donors that fund my projects to update my classroom library.
