My Project

As a teacher in Portland Maine, I’m passionate about providing my students with high-quality books that inspire curiosity, empathy, and creativity. The Maine Student Book Award winners are selected by students themselves, making them a perfect fit for our classroom library. Unfortunately, many of these titles are outside of our budget. Your donation will help provide a complete collection of the Maine Student Book Award winners since 2000 for our students to enjoy, learn from, and discuss. Any amount you can contribute will make a difference, and we’re so grateful for your support!
