New School Year, New Classroom Library!

Help me give my students a brand new classroom library to start the new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Burnett's classroom raised $314

This project is fully funded

My Project

At the end of the last school year, I gave most of the books in my classroom library to my students so that they could continue to read during the summer vacation.

Now my students and I need new books in our classroom library.

The majority of my students are from low income families therefore books are often not on the shopping list.

I would like to give my students every opportunity to learn to read and write by the end of the school year. These books will be loaned to the students to take home each night so that they will continue to improve their reading skills at home.

Help me get to facilitate this idea by donating to my project.
