Awesome New Picture Books

Help me give my students new picture books to add to our library collection.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. H.'s classroom raised $212

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please help my students get new picture books to add to our library collection. With library funding being so limited, this year's focus was to revamp the chapter book collection. However, I have many students who desperately want new picture books to read.

Your donation will help my students be able to grow their love of reading by giving them new titles they have been missing.

It will give them new titles to read during their weekly book checkout. Many of these books are already characters that my students recognize and love.
