Books, Books, and More Books!

Help me give my students over 30 books to add to our classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patrick-Hinton's classroom raised $599

My Project

I love that each day, my students come to school eager to learn. These books will be welcome additions to our already fantastic collection of books. My readers love to go to the library to read books. My hope is to provide our classroom with brand new diverse picture books and book sets with diverse characters to add to our collection.

With a robust school library collection, students can fall in love with books even more.

Most of my students don't have rich reading environments at home and this is one way to truly create that together! Students will even have the opportunity to check books out to bring home and return. Please help my students continue to grow their love for reading!
