Brilliant Biographies

Help me give my students access to biographies to help them learn about others.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Siebert's classroom raised $467

My Project

Bringing new biographies into our school library has so many benefits for our students! Not only will they be an inspiration and show what is possible, but they will also spark curiosity about different career possibilities to explore. This project will bring picture biographies such as the Little People, Big Dreams series and graphic novel biographies such as Show Me History, Anne Frank into our school library.

Some of my goals for this project are to encourage exploration and engagement, promote independent reading, and celebrate diversity and representation.

My students are creative and have a strong love of learning. Every time new books come into our library, they are so excited and eager to be the first to read them. By donating to this project, I believe you can enhance our scholars' love for learning and reading.
