Books to Provide Students Access to Windows, Mirrors, and Doors

Help me give my students access to updated books that they otherwise would not have the chance to read

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schiffer's classroom raised $1,092

This project is fully funded

My Project

Legal Prep Charter Academy is a Title 1 Charter School on the West Side of Chicago. We are an open enrollment, legal-based charter school that aims to giv our students an education that will open up their futures and show them what they are capable of.

The Maze Runner Series, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, John Green: The Complete Collection Box, A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow

By receiving these books, my students will have access to stories of people like them, and people they may have never encountered before. Our current library is severely lacking and does not have relevant works for our community.

Please consider donating to these students.
