My Project

This is my first year in third grade and I would love to help support my students’ love for reading. I am looking to enhance our classroom library with books that students are interested in and passionate about.

Your donation will help provide a variety of engaging books, from fantasy and adventure to science and biographies.

By adding these books to our library, I hope that students can be inspired by a lifelong love of reading and learning.

I had the students share the books they wanted to see in our library. With their help, I was able to create this project!

Thank you for considering this project to make a difference in our students' lives. Together, we can ignite their imaginations!

Ms. Murphy PS 81 Robert J Christen Grades 3-5
