Let's Back Pack it Home

Help me give my students these beautiful colored take home back packs to place their take home library books home.

Ms. Brooks Kimberley Park Elementary School
Winston Salem, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

Back packs are special as they hold a lot of value, especially books. The back packs will hold their very own books for their take home library books.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement, and knowledge.

My goal is to help my students with their own home library book area with their back packs. Students feel special when they have something to call their own. My student's will be able to sit with their own books and enjoy reading.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
