Fuel Their Minds with Books

Help me give my students books that will foster a lifelong love for reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lewis's classroom raised $155

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help me grow a joyful and engaging classroom library for my second-grade students by donating books that inspire curiosity, imagination, and a love for reading. At this age, children are discovering the magic of stories and building foundational literacy skills that will shape their young minds. Whether it’s a tale of adventure, friendship, or discovery, every book helps spark a child’s interest and encourages lifelong learning. The goal of this reading project is to cultivate a lifelong love of reading by providing students with access to meaningful, engaging books that support their growth as curious, confident, and compassionate learners.

Your donation will make a meaningful impact—one story, one smile, one reader at a time.

Thank you for supporting our readers!
