Make Reading Magic!

Help me give my students the opportunity to access quality reading material, including up-to-date articles and literature in Storyworks magazine.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Benzel's classroom raised $265

My Project

Our school is public with the opportunity to instruct as a private school, since our school is so small and tight-knit.

Small rural schools deserve the chance to read quality material that we otherwise couldn't afford without outside help.

Please help us access the periodical called Storyworks, which includes well-written articles, stories, poetry, and dramatic pieces. Our materials are rather out-dated, and we are in a budget crisis at the present time. With this donation, our students will be provided with the opportunity to enjoy reading class with more exciting, relevant curriculum. Thank you!
