Libary Closed! We Need Books!

Help me give my students 50+ books for an in-class library! Due to budget cuts, our library was closed, and my Elementary Students are lagging in literacy scores, but we need motivating books for our readers!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Raybon's classroom raised $295

My Project

Our school's TCAP scores are lagging behind the state average by at least 20% in all subject matters!

I am a teacher at an elementary school and our library was closed to hire specialized staff for intervention.

Now we are faced with the problem of providing our students with literature to motivate and excite their learning, but we need books!

So, I am creating an in-class library to help facilitate learning literacy along with starting a reading program at our school. I will do everything I can to support students, but I need help to give them the best education possible!
