My Project

My students are enthusiastic about reading and very goal-driven. I am asking for donations to support building a more diverse and plentiful classroom library, to foster their love of reading and provide them with a wide variety of books.

We are a Title I school with 100% of our school population receiving free/reduced lunch.

Many of my students have little or no access to books at home and are constantly asking for new books to read.

I have worked to include a wide selection of books with familiar characters and authors to draw their interest and further engage them in their already blossoming love of literacy.
