My Project

My elementary special education students are in need of new books. The books we currently have in our classroom are outdated. We need books that demonstrate all different kinds of communities and people.

All children are readers.

Children need books that they can enjoy and see themselves in. With your help, I can provide my students with a diverse classroom library that will foster their love of reading.

My learners are hungry for books. I wish to help them read while encourage their love of reading and learning with books that are relevant to today's culture.
