Books Are A Gateway To Our Imagination!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stewart's classroom raised $684
This project is fully funded
My Project
Hi my name is Ms. Stewart and I am a preschool teacher and have been for 23 years. Many of my students come to school excited to absorb everything. They especially love sitting in the library looking at books and having is read to them. Not all children have access to a home library. Donations would be greatly appreciated to help provide a library with a large variety of books for them to learn from as well as take and adventure with! The love for reading and books can start and continue because they have access.
This classroom project was brought to life by A Donor Who Loves Teachers
and 6 other donors.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
