My Project

Our students thrive when they can connect with characters, explore new perspectives, and dive deep into rich, engaging texts. To make this possible, we’re seeking classroom sets of novels that will allow every student to have their own copy during our novel studies. Having a book in hand empowers students to annotate, discuss, and truly immerse themselves in the reading experience. These books will not only support literacy development but also foster a love for reading and critical thinking. With your support, we can create a more inclusive and impactful learning environment where every student has access to the stories that inspire and challenge them.
