My Project

Reading is a key that opens doors for our student's future, and books are a VITAL part of that process!

My student love to read, but they need more books to get their hands on in the classroom.

These classroom books are critical so they can practice their reading skills. They also have a desire to read at home, but they need books to take home for that to happen. When they have books at home, this will further improve their reading growth, setting them up for success in the future.

Thank you for playing an integral part in our students' reading growth!
