Help me give my students quality non-fiction books to refresh our outdated school library collection and assist them in learning about interesting topics, world leaders, and current events.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our students attend a magnet elementary public school with a diverse socio-economic population in northwest Louisiana. We are a certified Leader in Me school, and are proud to be raising the next generation of capable and empathetic student leaders who strive for academic excellence!
Our school has a positive and strong reading culture, however the average age of the non-fiction books in our school library collection is 2004.
Your generous support of this project will help ensure that our students have access to appealing, current, and informative non-fiction books to refresh our outdated collection. My K-5th grade students have requested new biographies, titles about space, dinosaurs, sports, animals, and the weather, as well as books about our home state of Louisiana.
I receive approximately $3.50 per student from the state to purchase books every year and the average cost of just one new non-fiction title is typically between $15-30. Your donation will make a difference in the lives of my voracious readers and help me get new non-fiction books in their hands as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for helping our EGM Eagles continue to soar!
