Girl Power

Help me give my students books that feature bright, funny, and inquisitive girls!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Keim's classroom raised $629

My Project

My students love books that make them laugh, and I love keeping the shelves stocked. This can be hard to do- so often the most loved books disappear, and I'm left with endless requests to make books appear out of thin air.

This project will put a ton of books featuring female main characters- series like Judy Moody, Franny K Stein, and Dear Dumb Diary- directly into the hands of my students.

This list will allow me to replenish missing books and stock up on new titles and characters my students haven't read yet, and is sure to get the kids excited and ready to read.
