Help me give my students a new library filled with books about agriculture.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lopeman's classroom raised $383

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are outgoing, hardworking, motivated, and dedicated to education. They are from a small rural community that is like family. Agriculture and Environmental Sciences are a large part of their everyday lives.

My agriculture science classes are a blend of students on different educational levels and age ranges.

The majority of the student body is from lower-income families and are on the free or reduced-rate lunch program. They are hands-on learners that love to read, learn, question and explore.

My Project

These book will give my students a way to expand their understanding of agriculture science out side of the class room. Students that are remote learning will have access to them as well as the student in my room.

Books are a great way to help students drive their passion and understanding to another level.

This agriculture books are a start to a library in the classroom. Our school does not have a in building library and my students need access to literature that is not just a text book.
