Help me give my students a refresh of new books for our shelves.

My Students

I have the ability to work with students in a diverse, multi-cultural school, where our students receive free lunch and may have economic challenges that prohibit the purchase of supplies they may need to have to learn and grow. Our school system is so amazing. Each student walks into our building daily feeling safe, entering a positive environment, and being motivated to conquer whatever obstacles that come their way for the day. We strive to teach our students they can accomplish anything they set their minds to regardless of what their circumstances outside of school may be.

My Project

Please help me fill our shelves with new books for our class. With our students returning to school, it would be amazing to have a new library of books for them to choose from. I enjoy having a diverse set of books to immerse the reader in. Our class is filled with bright, young minds, that are very inquisitive, and want to explore through the world of reading. Please consider helping our class with a donation, should you feel inclined to do so. We would greatly appreciate your generosity and kindness.
