Building a Classroom Library!

Help me give my students a bookshelf and books for a classroom library filled with books that interest them and foster a love for reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lozano's classroom raised $1,208

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Every classroom should have a classroom library in order to nurture a culture of literacy within the classroom, where every student feels empowered to explore, inquire, and grow through reading. Due to a lack of bookshelves, our classroom library has not been able to flourish.

This classroom library will allow students to cultivate a love for reading and foster a supportive learning environment for my extraordinary students.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. With your generous support, we can make this happen!

By supporting this project, students will have access to a wide variety of books, allowing them to discover new interests, broaden their perspectives, and deepen their understanding of the world around them.

Ms. Lozano Dyett Arts High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
