Ms. Black from Salt Lake City, UT is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Books Are Fun!

My students need 16 more books for their curious minds, such as titles from the Redwall series. They are burning through them and I need to keep supplying enough to keep their interests satisfied.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Black's classroom raised $321

This project is fully funded

I teach a great bunch of 6th grade students from a high poverty area. They work hard and appreciate everything I do for them. They really deserve more books to read and I'm thrilled at the desire they show to read so much.

When I send home book orders many yearn for the chance to order the latest books. However, so many are in poverty and they can't find people to pay them for jobs they would do to earn the money for books. I know that several parents work multiple jobs and my students read for much of the time they wait for parents to return home.

I have spent all of my allowed money on books and quite a bit of my own. If anybody could help by donating more books my students would be served well.

Donors will make it possible for me to continue to intrigue young minds. Please consider helping me help America's youth.
