Help me give my students their own copies of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, The Watsons Go To Birmingham, Just a Drop of Water, and Seedfolks.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. P.'s classroom raised $2,797

My Project
These kids are used to having to share everything. They share computers and pencils and even food sometimes. If we had these novels then they could experience having their OWN copy and not have to worry about sharing. They could take the novel home and read to a family member. They could take it to ball practice. They could read on the bus.
We'd be grateful for the help, even if you can only buy one book.
These novels are examples of great literature and I really want our kids to have the opportunity to read them and know they don't have to share.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
