Help me give my students a new collection of engaging books to spark their love for reading, along with a cozy rug to create a comfortable and inviting reading space.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cando's classroom raised $321
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
I love how curious, creative, and eager to learn my students are. They come to school each day full of questions, ideas, and a desire to explore the world through stories.
A new collection of fun, diverse books will help my third graders grow as readers while inspiring their imagination.
The addition of a cozy rug will transform our reading area into a welcoming space where students can relax, focus, and truly enjoy reading. This comfortable environment encourages a love for literacy and helps students associate reading with joy and discovery.
More than three‑quarters 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
