My Project

We need new books for our school library. These books will help our students become more proficient readers, and learn to love reading. Students love books that challenge them and have colorful pictures and interesting topics.

We would appreciate any help to purchase these books for our students.

Our students love receiving new books to take home to read. They read it themselves and sometimes share it with their siblings. Books build our students into better readers and help them understand what they are reading.

We are excited to receive these fabulous books.

Mrs. Watanabe-Romias
Grades 3-5
