Class Seeking Fairy Godmother or Godfather

Please help me give my students a READING NOOK! In a classroom, a rug is IMPORTANT. It’s a stage for mornings, a safe space to land during emotional moments, and a gentle place where students fall in love with stories.

My Project

Dear Future Fairy Godmother or Fairy Godfather,

Once upon a time in a land not-so-far-away (aka our classroom), a group of bright, curious kids dreamed of a magical reading nook—a cozy kingdom filled with books, cushions, and the quiet that makes even the wildest imaginations whisper, “Wow.”

But alas, our current reading corner is more “broom closet chic” than “storybook spectacular.” We’ve got dreams bigger than our book bins and enthusiasm stronger than our wobbly chairs. What don’t we have? A fairy godperson to wave their wand (or click their mouse) and make our DonorsChoose project come true.

That’s where you come in. You don’t even need a wand. Just a kind heart, a touch of whimsy, and maybe a love for reading or small humans doing their best to learn.

By supporting our project, you’ll be giving kids a magical space to fall in love with books. You’ll be the sparkle in our story—the person who turned “just another corner” into a portal to Hogwarts, Narnia, and galaxies far, far away.

And in return? You get the title of Fairy Godmother or Godfather of Literacy—complete with invisible tiara or crown, eternal gratitude, and possibly some glittery thank-you notes (no guarantees on the glitter containment).

So what do you say? Will you help us turn the page on a new chapter of learning?

With hopeful hearts and bookish dreams,

Ms. Nichols and The Future Readers of America
