My Project

The resiliency of our students in this post-pandemic era is incredible. Students are so eager and curious to learn, and itching to stretch their minds every day.

In a school that doesn't have a library for students to go to check out books, study, relax, work, write, etc- I'm on a mission to create a classroom library FULL of exciting options for students of all abilities and interests.

Students are rediscovering their love for reading a physical book that many missed out on during the pandemic and learning from home. I hope this project can help fund HEAPS and HEAPS of new books for students to enjoy- books that are both on their level AND that they are EXCITED to read!

Our students deserve this and so much more, and we thank you for your generosity!

Ms. DiPietro
Grades 3-5
