Bears New Books

Help me give my students more books!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Simzyk's classroom raised $976

My Project

Most kids that I have enter into my library have lost the love of reading. They find a screen will teach them or keep their interest alive.

Bringing in new books will spark that love of reading when then see new updated books in the library.

We will be able to fill the need and want of our little readers. Kids need books that will help grow their interest and imagination.

The books that I am requesting will replace some of our lost books due to Covid and bring in new books brand new to our readers.

Please help me help my kiddos learn to love reading again.
