Hooray! This project is fully funded

M.S. 45 is the only school in District 4 which serves bilingual (Spanish/English) students, yet our classroom library has only 2 Spanish books! Our 36 excited 6th graders urgently need a complete Spanish library. With your generous donations, we plan to purchase a wide range of Spanish titles that will entice our developing readers and challenge our advanced readers. Because many of our struggling readers are currently reading at a 1st grade level, they need to read more books and more often to bring their literacy skills up to 6th grade standards. New York state requires students to read 25 books in a school year. We want to push our students one step further and challenge them to read 25 English books and 25 Spanish books! We are confident that many of our students would rise to this challenge, but they lack access to Spanish books. As 92% of the student population qualifies for free lunch, our children cannot afford to purchase all of the books they want (and deserve!). This is where you come in. Know that every dollar you donate will help build a community of strong, bilingual readers in East Harlem. Our sincere thanks for considering this proposal.
