Help me give my students free access to approved texts in the State of Florida
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ellis's classroom raised $379
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
In many high schools in Florida, free access to quality texts in the school libraries and media centers have been limited. Where it was once easy and accessible for students to borrow, read, and return books, access to school-provided literature is now scarce.
But the classroom library still lives!
And I am constantly looking to supplement the texts my students read in class with literature that is meaningful and appropriate for students.
Through the books that are donated to my classroom library, my students will be able to have choice in the texts that they read with the variety of fiction and non-fiction, poetry and prose, classic and contemporary selections that they can just grab off of the shelf and enrich their understanding of the world around them.
More than half of 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
