My Project

Hi DonorsChoose. My name is Ms. Fay, and my students have been excitedly reading all year to accumulate as many reading points as possible. Students are looking forward to our Spring Auction to bid on prizes using their points.

With chronic absenteeism, unmet needs, and below grade level readers in our classroom -- our end of the year Reading Auction is intended to create lifelong positive memories/habits around reading, community building, and STEAM.

These prizes are meant to ensure we have enough for everyone to take home something with their points and directly correlate to our climate, environment, and life science modules we explored this year. I'd love for students to have educational prizes to take home with them to encourage them to be lifelong environmental activists with an appreciation of science.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Take care,

Ms. Fay
