My Project

I want to bring the Harry Potter series into our classroom library to ignite a lifelong love of reading in my students. These books are not only engaging and magical but also offer lessons in courage, friendship, perseverance, and empathy. The series has the power to turn even the most reluctant readers into book lovers.

By adding a complete set of Harry Potter books to our classroom, I can provide students with access to stories that have captivated readers for decades.

They’ll have the opportunity to read independently, participate in book clubs, and engage in meaningful discussions about characters and themes. This project will help build their reading stamina, vocabulary, and comprehension — all while fostering a strong reading culture in our classroom.

Your donation will help us build a library that represents adventure, imagination, and the joy of reading. With these books, students will not only improve their literacy skills but also build a sense of community around a shared reading experience. For many, this could be the series that turns them into lifelong readers.

Thank you for helping me bring the magic of Harry Potter to my students!
