More Great Reads for Great Students

Help me give my students more of the books they love! These are continuations of series and characters that fly off the shelves.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. H.'s classroom raised $361

My Students

My students come from a diverse community made up of both low-income and military families. Many of them qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. What they all have in common is a desire to learn and succeed!

The school serves PK-6th grade students who are eager to learn and succeed.

I want my media center to be a place where students can come to explore and learn in a positive way. They deserve materials that are of high quality and high interest to engage them and motivate them to be the best they can be.

My Project

My students are constantly on the quest for more books to read when they visit the library. Many times, they read part of a series, but have to wait for the next book to be published or for the next book to be returned.

These books would give my students more of the books, characters, and authors they already love reading.

It would give them more choices and help them continue reading characters they already love. These books would help keep our collection current and relevant to our student population.
