My Project
Pack your bags for a literary adventure! Our high school students are ready to embark on their Summer Bookation, but they need your help to get their travel reading in order.
These amazing students have been on an incredible journey this year, making tremendous strides in their reading abilities.
Now it's time to reward their hard work with personally selected books that will keep their minds traveling to new worlds even when school's out. Help transform reluctant readers into lifelong learners and join us in keeping literacy cool this summer. Every book makes a difference!
Each student will receive a personally selected book that matches their interests, reading level, and aspirations. These books aren't just rewards—they're tools to ensure our students continue developing their newfound skills throughout summer break.
By funding this project, you're not just giving books—you're providing confidence, inspiration, and the message that reading truly is the coolest way to spend summer. Your donation helps transform reluctant readers into lifelong learners who associate reading with enjoyment rather than struggle.
These aren't just books; they're first-class tickets to adventures that will prevent the dreaded "summer slide" in literacy skills.
Help us make this Summer Bookation unforgettable. Your contribution ensures our students won't take a vacation from reading, but instead continue their remarkable literacy journey all summer long!
More than half of students from low‑income households
