This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Whitmore from Brooklyn, NY is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

See what Mrs. Whitmore is requesting

Help Our Library Grow with Our Students

My students need 18 Help-Yourself Book Boxes from Lakeshore Learning and 32 book titles from series like "Pirates of the Caribbean".

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Whitmore's classroom raised $540

This project is fully funded

I work at a charter school in a very low income district. My students work hard and they deserve everything we can give them.

My students are learning and growing so fast, our classroom library needs to keep up with them! Many students have read all of the books at their level and we must provide them with new books to keep their interest.

These books are about topics that my students are interested in, like fairies and pirates! New chapter books will keep my students challenged and enthusiastic about reading.

Your help will give my students a big boost on their journey through the reading world. You will provide them with the tools they need to continue to grow as readers and to enjoy themselves along the way!
