This teacher needs your help!

Help These Books Find Their Readers!

Help me give my students new books that they can't wait to read!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Radway's classroom raised $823

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to read! Plain and simple! Once these students get into a series, they love to see how the character maneuvers the problems throughout the whole series. They want the latest book that they heard about on "bookstagram" or "book tok". They are constantly asking about and wanting to dive into new books.

This project will fill the eager minds of over 50 students as they continue reading a book in their series, try a new book in a genre they love, or read a new award winning book!

These books will be added into the school's library so that many readers can enjoy them. It is bound to happen that one eager reader finishes a book and recommends it to their friend and they now want to read it!

Thank you for supplementing our library budget so that my students can enjoy books that they can't wait to get their hands on!
