My Project
Every year, my fifth-grade class reads Bridge to Terabithia—a timeless novel that sparks imagination, encourages empathy, and helps students navigate important themes like friendship, loss, and courage. It's a powerful book that stays with students long after they finish reading.
In the past, we’ve asked families to purchase their own copies, but I know that not all parents can easily afford extra books.
To ease this burden, I’m asking for your help in building a classroom set of Bridge to Terabithia. With 25 copies, every student will have their own book to follow along, annotate, and take ownership of their reading experience, without any added cost to their families.
This set won’t just be for this year—it will support many future classes in discovering the magic of Terabithia together.
Your support will make a meaningful difference for both students and families. Thank you for helping us grow our love for reading while making it accessible to all!
