This project is fully funded

My Project

We are a new school with a new library. Last year was our first year with a library media center and we LOVE it! Please help us expand it with more beautiful books which have characters that have similarities to our population.

We are a diverse population, representing many countries around the world.

This collection of books has many countries and cultures that will help us learn about the world we are a part of...and the places we have never seen before. Learning about our strengths as well as the strengths of other lands and cultures is a step towards building a global community.

Mrs. Klein Hennepin Middle School Grades 3-5
