Because Sometimes the Library is Closed!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dishman's classroom raised $515
This project is fully funded
My Project
MBES has the BEST kids! They come from 15 different counties and they don't all have books at home. This year we start each morning with every adult at MBE reading books and stories to students.
To keep kids excited about reading for pleasure, we need books for our new BOOK VENDING MACHINE! Students will earn coins for acts of kindness and hard work to use in the vending machine. Unlike a library book, the books provided by your generous donation will be forever theirs. And the vending machine is never closed.
This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter
and one other donor.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
You donate directly to the teacher or project you care about and see where every dollar you give goes.
