Help me give my students new books to fuel their love for reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Parrinello's classroom raised $312

My Project

I take pride in providing my students with exciting and engaging books that get them excited about reading. I have worked so hard to build my classroom library because my students are elated when they have access to the newest books in a series and popular titles. In our classroom, the students read to self daily, and they love to write about and talk about their favorite books with their classmates.

I would like to update my classroom library to continue to enstill the love of reading in my 5th graders and encourage their passion for reading.

Thank you for any support you can provid
