In My Reading Era

Help me give my students new books to add to the School Library Shelves to be checked out and enjoyed for years to come!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Y.'s classroom raised $336

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students at my school LOVE to read! Most students, however, do not have many books at home to support this love. As their School Librarian, I work hard to stock the library shelves with books the students will be excited to checkout and read!

By giving to this project, you will be helping me on my journey to transform my students into kids who are excited about reading by adding new and interesting books to our school library shelves that can be checked out and enjoyed by students for years to come!

Mrs. Y. Arthur Ashe Junior Elementary School Grades PreK-2
