My Project

Greetings future Donors! This is Round Two of my literacy campaign to provide a wealth of books to students who otherwise may not have access to quality reading materials.

It is my goal to increase my students' reading level AND their joy level when it is time to read and learn.

I hope that by providing a variety of books, my students are more inclined to visit our new library to check out books on a regular basis.

Our school also participates in Accelerated Reader to help students build comprehension and test taking skills as well. When the library first opened, students complained that there were "no good books." I want to ensure this is no longer their experience.
