Light Up Little Imaginations by Building Our Classroom Library

Help me give my students a classroom library that inspires and engages their imaginations. Help them grow into amazing human beings because of the books they have read. They can explore new worlds because of you.

My Project

I teach seventh-grade Language Arts in one of the largest districts in our state. I absolutely love how my students enjoy getting lost in great books. We are supporting so many this year with a limited English background or who are in special education. They are hungry for so many incredible literary experiences, but due to limited funding, I do not always have the books available that they desire to read. Help me build up our classroom library with these amazing book sets, so that students can come in every day and engage their hearts and imaginations with books. Books help shape our dreams and hopes, so by contributing to this project, you are giving a contribution to the dreams of the next generation. You are building their minds to engage in creating a better world for us all. Please consider helping out our Language Arts class because, after all, the most incredible people are those who plant trees, knowing they may never get to enjoy their shade. Invest in the future!
