Banking on Books

Help me give my students new, non fiction books about accounting and finance.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Caiola's classroom raised $394

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The non-fiction section of our school library is woefully out of date. Most of our non-ficition books are more than 20 years old, missing or falling apart. The information provided is incorrect and not relevant to today's student investors.

Please help provide the funding to purchase books about accounting and finance for my students.

Help provide the resources they need to achieve financial literacy and conduct research for their business studies.

Your donation will out our school one step further towards providing our students with the information resources that they deserve.
