Help me give my students books to be Big Sister readers and positive role models & mentors!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jen Pecora's classroom raised $338
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
My Sister's Keeper is all about female empowerment for young women of color. McKee High School's MSK is continuing our community service project of monthly readings at Richmond Pre-K for all students.
Our goals are to promote literacy & build relationships, but more importantly we are exposing the little kids to young women of color who are positive role models!
We want them to see these young adults in leadership positions, so they know what is possible in their futures. The impact could be lifelong!
By donating, you are helping us to get our books that we will read every month to the little kids! These books get donated directly to the classrooms. Thank you for all the support!
More than three‑quarters 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
