My Project

This is to help build our schools library collection. As a title one school moving into a newly built school, it would mean the world to my students to have new books on our shelves. We aren’t being given a budget and all the books are in poor condition that are currently in the library. Our students deserve to have new books they are excited to read, or the washable activity books for younger students working on letter practice. In addition, having flexible seating like the bench to sit in when reading and place for big books makes it easy for the students to see what there are for choices without having to go piles of them, and for storytelling kits allows for creativity. Please, consider donating towards our school library for our students! Thank you.
