My Students

I work in a public PreK-5th grade elementary school in Iowa. We serve approximately 310 students, 75% of whom are eligible for free and/or reduced-price lunch. We have a multi-categorical special education program in our building that serves the needs of about 60 children (19%). Many of our families have high mobility rates, and students move from school to school often. We serve students of diverse ethnicity and cultures.

Our children have diverse academic needs and need an opportunity to learn in diverse ways to prepare them for a successful future.

We serve struggling readers and writers, as well as those who are proficient.

My Project

With this purchase of books, our young students can continue to learn in and out of school. These books will be used for both our online and hybrid learning students.

Our library has taken a big hit during this pandemic and we need your help to restock and update the books that are available to ALL of our students.

When the pandemic hit, many books did not get returned or were lost, we need help replacing and updating the nonfiction section of our library. These books will be used to keep our students reading both in and out of school.
