My Project

Our students love to read! Books addresses so many learning objectives and are essential for our young learners educational journey. My students are just beginning their educational journey and I emphasize the joy of reading in hopes to instill a lifelong love of it for them.

“Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them.”

These books will give each of my students a holiday/season themed book to take home with them. It is so important to have a school - home connection and these books will extend our learning from the classroom, to their homes.

Ms. Heiks will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 9.
