See what Mrs. McKeon is requesting

Books for All of Our English Learner students.

Help me give my students books in their primary languages. This will be the best way to support them while they are learning the English language.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McKeon's classroom raised $306

This project is fully funded

My Project

With these new books, my students will be able to read in their primary languages, while learning the English language. The books will help keep the Library inclusive to all our students.

Diversity in books throughout our libraries is imperative for children to succeed.

Please help our children learn the wonders of books and the stories that they tell. Help them to see themselves through the pages, while identifying with the characters and stories. Help to build their confidence in themselves through reading. The more they learn, the more they grow!
