Graphic Novels for Great Readers

Help me give my students popular graphic novels to keep them excited about reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Caird's classroom raised $1,392

This project is fully funded

My Students

There are students in our city and surrounding counties who have everything they need. There are students on the other end of the spectrum that are lacking basic supplies. My school, much like our city, is a diverse and creative community from all walks of life.

I am proud to be a librarian at a school with students who can learn from one another’s cultural and socio-economic differences and family make-up.

My school embraces and welcomes all families, making it a true neighborhood school. Our parents give of themselves, our teachers and administration are good people, and our students are our passion.

My Project

In our library, I cannot keep graphic novels on the shelves! Students of all grade levels and reading levels are asking for them!

Graphic novels improve literacy skills and encourage kids to dive into books for fun, which is the perfect recipe for a love of reading.

I want to be able to have a variety of graphic novels available for the students when they ask, to keep that hunger for reading going! I am requesting mainly fiction books, but also some non-fiction books, as those are popular also. In addition to these wonderful books, I am requesting some book bins to help organize them.
