Loving Lots of Literacy!

My Project

My students will gain a stronger love of literacy through the availability and use of books that are well preserved.

As literacy is the gateway to success, providing my students with access to books will provide the literacy tools needed for their future careers.

In addition, the variety of prizes will encourage the students to participate and strive towards setting and reaching their reading goals. By giving my students as many opportunities to read and achieve their goals they will develop a strong foundation to contribute productively and effectively to their futures and their communities. These materials are fundamental to the success of our awesome students.
