Help Alaskan Bush Students Have New Monthly Reading Materials!
My students need dynamic reading materials! My students have a stagnant supply of books because of the bush location. Magazine subscriptions would give my students new reading material monthly!

My Students
My students live in a extremely rural Alaskan bush village. My students live in dual-language homes of English and Yupik Eskimo. Our weather is extreme to say the least. Life opportunities beyond the tundra are limited.
The neighborhood my students (and myself) live in does not have any activity options such as stores, movies, skate rinks, malls, playgrounds, parks, and etc.
There are no banks, doctors, dentists, vets or other services that are taken for extreme granted. There are no roads in or out of Togiak, there is no way in or out of the village other than a bush plane.
My students deserve and need the same educational tools available to other schools. Unfortunately, resources and money is limited and I am asking - no, begging - for you to help these kids any way that you can. Their needs are not large at all - they need simple supplies such as notebooks, folders, construction paper, and anything else you would typically find in a K/1st classroom. Their needs are so small that any amount, even a dollar, will add up and help me support their needs.
My Project
With a few monthly magazine subscriptions, my 1st graders will be excited to have new reading materials come in on a regular basis. With these subscriptions, students will also have interesting topics of choice that may not be in our stagnant library of books they've read and read over and over.
I am also needing page protector covers so I can tear apart the magazine each month and put each page in a protected sleeve into a separate notebook so each magazine will be protected for years of use!
This is a BIG gift for these kiddos - having many topics to spark their interest will make/keep them excited about reading. Reading is my personal passion and my daily goal is to share that passion.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
