My Project

Help us build our Reading Groups Book Collection! I hope this message finds you well! I'm reaching out as a 4th & 5th-grade teacher and I'm working to create a more engaging and enriching classroom library for my students for our fabulous reading groups. Many of them are eager to explore new books, but we currently have limited resources and funds. I'm hoping to gather donations to purchase a diverse selection of books that will inspire a love of reading and support literacy development for all my students. Every contribution—big or small—makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your support.
