My Project

Help me give my students a cozy and inviting library corner where they can truly fall in love with reading. We've been incredibly blessed with generous book donations, and now we're working to transform a small part of our English classroom into a calm, aesthetically pleasing space where students can relax and immerse themselves in stories. With the right seating, lighting, and organization, this corner can become a safe haven for exploration, imagination, and growth. Your support will help create an environment that encourages students to read for pleasure and discover the joy of literature in a space that feels like their own.
