Help me give my students books to excite and further their love of reading!

My Project

My fifth and sixth grade students love to read, and a large amount of that is due to the amazing books I stock thanks to DonorsChoose. This grant will help to refresh and refill our Captain Awesome box, and also being a new box, Super Turbo, into existence.

These books are creative, exciting, and get kids enthusiastic about reading.

Your generosity will make sure we have two of each Super Turbo, and one of each Captain Awesome book, for kids who love to read the entire series. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
