New Books for a Rough Year

Help me give my students discover new books when they return to school. They have been away for so long that I want to give them fresh new things to read upon return!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Charis's classroom raised $623

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

Our students here are creative and bright. Even during the time away from school, they have continued to use my curbside reservation program to check out books so they could continue to read. We need new books to keep them interested!

My Project

I hope to reenergize the students love of reading and desire to check out books by getting some fresh books available for them when they return to school.

Students have not been able to visit the library but have continued to check out books.

I would like to renew interest in the library by showing them some new books. Most of the books I picked are continuations of series that we already have or books that will help promote social and ethnic diversity. I look forward to letting my readers know that new books are available.
