FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Yates's classroom raised $585
This project is fully funded
My Project
The necessity for donating new books to our high school students is paramount to fostering a vibrant and enriched learning environment. Access to a diverse and up-to-date collection of books is essential for broadening students' perspectives, encouraging critical thinking, and nurturing a lifelong love of learning.
New books also enhance curriculum support, keeping our educational materials current and relevant.
By fostering a culture of reading, these books play a crucial role in cultivating literacy skills and intellectual curiosity, ultimately empowering our students to excel academically and thrive as lifelong learners. Your support through book donations will have a lasting impact on the educational journey of our high school students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
