My Project

I want to inspire a love of reading in my classroom. My 6th grade students are eager, curious, and full of potential—but many of them don’t have access to books outside of school. I want to provide them with group sets of novels so they can read, learn, and grow together through shared stories.

Reading a novel as a groups builds critical thinking, empathy, and confidence.

These books will spark discussions that connect students. They will help students see themselves—and others—in a new light.

With your help, I can put high-quality literature into their hands and create a classroom culture that celebrates reading. Every donation brings us one step closer to making this possible. Thank you for supporting my students!
