My Project

My middle school students are enthusiastic readers. They love performing snippets from their most recent novels and actively engage in meaningful conversations about books. For example, each season, we have “Conversation Cafes” where student sip some tea and discuss the books they are reading- these books will be the highlight of our winter cafe. The challenge is getting enough books in the hands of these amazing readers. With your support, students will have access to some of the best titles for contemporary literature available today. Thank you for your consideration.

Mrs. Kearns
Grades 6-8
