My Project
This project, Pages with Purpose, is designed to bring new, high-interest books into our Elementary School’s media center. These titles will include popular fiction, culturally inclusive stories, graphic novels, nonfiction, and texts that reflect our students' voices and experiences.
Our current collection is outdated and missing many current titles that students are excited about.
By updating our shelves with fresh, relevant books, we can reignite excitement around reading and give students the resources they need to build strong literacy skills.
Books selected will: appeal to reluctant readers and book lovers alike, reflect diverse cultures, voices, and identities, support both independent and classroom reading goals, and encourage critical thinking, creativity, and empathy.
Your support will directly put new books into students’ hands—and hearts.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
