Help me give my students the gift of the love of reading for a lifetime.

My Project

I am requesting multiple copies of several titles that are real favorites for my students. The goal I have for all my students is to instill in them the love of reading which can last a lifetime. I have seen this happen, and it is glorious.

Your donation will help my students gain a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

A student who has access to wonderful novels will be more likely to find the book that will change her life. A love of reading will help my students in high school, college, and beyond.

With so much technology today pulling kids away from reading, your donation will help them secure the reading knowledge that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
