My Project

Reading is the foundation of lifelong learning, and the books I’ve selected will open doors to imagination, critical thinking, and meaningful discussion for my students. Many of them don’t have access to high-quality, engaging literature at home, and this project will put powerful stories right into their hands. These books reflect diverse voices, spark curiosity, and align with our curriculum in ways that truly bring learning to life. Your donation will not just supply books — it will inspire a love of reading and empower students to see themselves and others in new, affirming ways.
