My Students

My students are in a small town with a rural setting. We are a Title I school and many are from low income families. They are working hard to overcome the challenges of being early learners during a pandemic. They need your help!

My Project

As a classroom teacher, now librarian and a parent, I know how important reading is in the education of a child. Sometimes getting a kid excited about reading is just a matter of putting the RIGHT book in their hands.

Having a variety of books in the library is just the thing we need for new, reluctant readers to get excited about reading!

There are more fun titles than ever available. Help me put them in our library and into the hands of a child. A good book can make all the difference.
