Our Weird School

Help me give my students books from the My Weird School series to keep them reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Keim's classroom raised $491

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love books that make them laugh, and I love keeping the shelves stocked. This can be hard to do- so often the most loved books disappear, and I'm left with endless requests to make books appear out of thin air.

This project will put some of my most requested titles- the My Weird School series in all its iterations- directly into the hands of my students.

This list will allow me to replenish missing books and stock up on new titles and characters my students haven't read yet, and is sure to get the kids excited and ready to read.
