Ms. Sims's classroom raised $715

Keep the Graphic Novel Craze Alive!

Help me give my students an opportunity to read and increase their comprehension skills. My scholars are crazy about graphic novels. The library shelves are always bare due to their love of this genre.

Ms. Sims Reedy Creek Elementary School

Charlotte, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

My scholars absolutely love coming to the library to check out the latest graphic novels. Help me continue to reach our goal of getting kids to read, read, read.

Since our scholars are reading more, their test scores have been trending upward to proficient and beyond.

More scholars are now college and career ready. I want to continue their love of reading for pleasure and entertainment.

Their excitement for reading excites me. My goal is to keep this momentum going strong by having a library filled with a variety of graphic novels for all age and grade levels.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
