My Project

Students are tired of reading old, torn and out of date books just for the sake of reading. Witnessing students dreading the leisure of reading is heartbreaking. It’s time we take a stand as a nation by providing all students with novels of their interests.

My goal is to ignite the spark of reading once more through my group of 4th graders by providing them new and relevant reading materials.

Your donation will help spark their interests and make reading the joy it is designed to be! The project includes a Scholastic News subscription for the class. This subscription will expose students to current events and expand their exposure to the world. Please consider donating to our project to help students be world travelers without ever even leaving the classroom!
