Help me give my students new and diverse reading materials to foster a love of reading.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jess's classroom raised $940
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As you may know, a well-stocked library is vital for fostering a positive educational environment. Unfortunately, our current collection is limited, and many of our students are eager for new and diverse reading materials. We believe that by expanding our library's offerings, we can ignite a passion for reading that will last a lifetime. Your generous contribution will directly impact our students by providing them with access to engaging and educational literature. Every book purchased will help to inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking among our young readers.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in our students’ lives.
Your support can help cultivate a lifelong love of reading in our young learners.
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
