Elementary Book Drive

Help me give my students access to books that will support their love for literacy!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Osborne's classroom raised $2,779

My Project

At our Title I elementary school, many of our K–2 scholars face barriers to early reading success due to limited access to resources in our community.

Due to funding cuts, we are requesting assistance with purchasing books for our K-2 scholars.

Your donation will help create a print-rich environment where scholars can explore books that reflect their interests and backgrounds and build reading skills. With your support, we can foster a love of reading that will empower these scholars for years to come.

These books will be used in classroom libraries, specifically to teach scholars the necessary skills to become fluent and critical readers.

Help us for our school to continue to "Elevate the Excellence of Our Students and Staff!"
