Help me give my students a red little free library and post so that books are readily available.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Drewry's classroom raised $785
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My third graders attend a public school in an urban district. It is a Title I school, and 100% of the students qualify for a free or reduced-price lunch. Coming from an urban district and a Title I school, my students do not have as many supplies and opportunities as students in the surrounding districts.
This year, I have 25 inquisitive and eager students, many of whom are not on grade level.
They include SPED, English Language Learners, and LTSS students, but they are always ready to learn. My students are full of energy and their creativity shines through in all of the work that they do. They soak up everything you put out.
My goal is to make their return to the classroom experience meaningful and fun while also setting high expectations and providing a safe, loving environment for all of my students, no matter their circumstances. Your donations mean more than you will ever fully understand!
My Project
Reading is a way to escape. After the past 18 months, being locked down, little interaction, strained education, missing loved ones and families I want to give my students and all children for that matter the ability to escape. Run away with a white rabbit, swim under the water with a friendly fish, ride a boat out to sea with pirates, the possibilities are endless. I want to provide a place where they can come and grab a well loved book and be transported to a different time and place. Reading is so, so important. " A book is a gift you can open again and again" (author unknown). With your help, I want to provide that gift. A lot of my students tell me they don't have books at home. This free little library will stand tall and be constantly filled with adventures waiting to be had. Students, neighbors, adults and friends will be able to take a book and place a book in a secure little box for all to enjoy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
