Help Build Our Library

Help me give my students an opportunity for our students to build their reading skills and explore new worlds.

My Project

By donating to this project, you are helping my students expand their reading skills and open them to an opportunity to adventure! Reading has always been a favorite activity of mine because it promotes imagination and a safe escape into other worlds. I hope to expose my students to this same experience with a wide variety of school appropriate books, like emotional books, mysteries, and more. My students do not necessarily have a library at home, so providing them with an expansive library in school is critical. These books focus specifically for kindness, caring, community, and social emotional skills. My students will benefit greatly from more Social Emotional Learning supplies.

My students will benefit greatly from this addition to my class.
