My Project

My classroom is in need of an updated reading corner. My students truly love reading and enjoy visiting the classroom library as a place to meet with their friends while shopping for books.

I'm hoping to create a comfortable and inviting environment that will excite my students and foster their love of reading.

We are in need of a bookcase and baskets that will store their books, floor cushions and some motivating decorations. Your donation will help me create a reading corner that will last for many years to come.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
