Back to School!

Help me give my students some wonderful new books to fill their hearts with excitement and love for their library!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Appleyard's classroom raised $1,113

My Project

The students at Orca K-8 love to come to the library and we love to welcome them in with an amazing selection of their favorite books! Let's start the school year off right by making sure there are plenty of new books for them to be excited by.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the smiles on the faces of our Orca readers!

With your generosity, we can make sure that everyone from our emerging readers to our strongest readers are able to find a just right books that they love.

This Back to School project not only allows me to purchase new books for our students to enjoy but replenishes our collection of favorites. Many of our books are so popular that they are in pretty bad shape. Sadly, others just never make it back to the Orca library. With your help we can purchase new books as well as replace those perennial favorites!
