Join Us in Spreading Joy With Pete the Cat Books!

Help me give my students a library of Pete the Cat books that will spark imagination, creativity, and a passion for reading in our students. These books not only entertain but also teach valuable life lessons!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

We are thrilled to bring the beloved Pete the Cat books into our classroom.

These colorful and engaging stories have captured the hearts of readers everywhere and are known for prompting a love of reading and learning.

Your donation will allow us to create a fun and inviting reading environment where our students can explore the world of Pete the Cat with new books and Pete the Cat himself! Pete the Cat values friendship and kindness, demonstrating the importance of treating others with respect and empathy. Together, we can inspire a love of reading that will last a lifetime.
