Mrs. Martinez-Jones from Houston TX is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Let's Keep the Love of Reading Going!

Help me give my students an amazing variety of texts to choose to read from in the library. In honor of Sabrina Trauschke's late mother, Rose Trauschke, we kindly ask for donations to fund this special library collection.

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

This special book collection will be a perfect addition in our school library because our 5th-grade student, Sabrina Trauschke, who will be moving on to 6th grade, and her father, want to dedicate these books to this school, Patterson IB World School, in honor of Sabrina's late mother, Mrs. Rose Trauschke.

This is a very special donation that will live on in our school for years to come.

We thank you for your time and any donation is appreciated.

Being a Literature Magnet IB Dual Language School, we have a special love for books and our 5th grader that will soon move on to middle school would like to leave this behind for us in honor of her late mother. Loving books themselves, it holds a special place in their hearts and memories.

There would be a special corner with these books, explaining where they came from, who wanted the project made and in honor of who.
