My Project
Help create a comfortable place so our students can access the world around us. Help connect students to our environment through books. I've received so many books from donors from Donors Choose, the local library, and a local book bank. Now I need shelving for them. It's been amazing to see the students engage in reading when they're given the opportunity.
Creating awareness of our climate and environment with our students is exponentially easier when their reading levels are higher.
Help me organize the wonderful books that have been donated with new bookshelves! Together we can help our kids make a difference.
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
