Help me give my students engaging, age-appropriate books to build their literacy skills and foster a lifelong love of reading.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. N. Santiago's classroom raised $173
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 Project
Help me give my 3rd-grade students diverse, age-appropriate books that will strengthen their reading skills and inspire a lifelong love of learning.
Many of my students come from underserved communities and lack access to books at home, making our classroom library an essential tool in their education.
These books will be used for small group reading sessions to encourage collaboration, independent reading to build confidence, and read-aloud activities to spark class discussions and improve comprehension. They will provide opportunities to support struggling readers with accessible texts while challenging advanced learners with more complex stories.
Your generosity will create a welcoming space where every student feels encouraged, valued, and empowered to achieve their full potential.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
