Books for a School Without a Library

Help me give my students books for their in class library. They love to have new books to read and with your help they can be well-supplied with some fresh options.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Colvert's classroom raised $607

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to read and they don't have a library to supply them with the books they want. They come to my room looking for new books to read and get so excited when there is a fresh selection.

Please help me provide students with books since they can't get them elsewhere.

I have dozens of students coming in every day to borrow books, so I guarantee these books will be read and loved. It is such a joy to hear that a student has enjoyed a book, when it comes back to me a little more worn and loved than when I gave it out. Your donation will help provide these kids with the experience of loving a new book.
