Help me give my students a chance to see themselves in books they read!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Faro's classroom raised $581
This project is fully funded
My Students
The students at PCS are a diverse and multicultural group of students coming from many parts of the world. Students here bring their customs to school and love learning from one another! We learn a lot as well!
My Project
The books that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! Reading and literacy are vital in growing as a learner, and I already have such a large book selection for my second graders. However, I do not have enough books that my student population can identify with. Since my students are from various parts of the world, backgrounds, and nationalities, I want my students to see themselves and relate to the books from our classroom library. Through your donation, I will be able to grow my library into a more diverse library that my students will be able to get excited about!
Nearly all 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
