Library of Love

Help me give my students a library to encourage our alternative students to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bonser's classroom raised $386

My Project

Many of our students are currently reading significantly below grade level and do not care for reading. They have not been successful at their traditional school, struggling behaviorally, and have been moved to our alternative program. I want to create a library with books that interest my students to help grow them to love reading!

We have limited resources and students who need the most encouragement to pick up a book.

Having books available for them, that spark their interest and encourage reading of any sort will make a huge difference for these students.
