Creating Leaders Through Reading

Help me give my students the opportunity to read a variety of good books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jones's classroom raised $311

This project is fully funded

My Project

I serve kindergarten children in West Philadelphia. I’m looking to create a dream library for my class. With pillows, bookshelves, and decor. My scholars enjoy reading but need a variety of books to choose from. Due to the pandemic books were lost. We don’t have enough books for the classroom or for students to borrow. We often read books on epic or YouTube. They need the opportunity and skills of holding books. My class would enjoy classics and new authors. Please help these future leaders fall in love with reading.
