My Project

Imagine a space where every book feels inviting, where discovering a new story is as easy as reaching out. That's the vision we have for our high school dyslexia room, and we need your help to make it a reality by adding sturdy, accessible bookshelves.

My students are incredibly eager to learn, and they're just beginning to unlock the joy of reading.

These bookshelves aren't just about storage; they're about creating a visually appealing and organized literary hub that encourages engagement and discovery.

Right now, our books are yearning for a proper home. With your support, these shelves will be so much more than a place to put books. They'll be valuable resources, keeping our collection neatly arranged and within easy reach for every student. This organized display will transform our classroom, making our literature an inviting and beautiful part of our learning environment.

Help us provide a space where stories come to life, and where every student feels empowered to explore the world through books. Your contribution will directly impact our students' literacy journeys, fostering a lifelong love of reading.
