Help me give my students enough copies of books to read for our district-wide Reading Olympics. All of these titles will be used to address the theme of creativity and innovation.

My Project
Every year, my district hosts a reading competition called the Reading Olympics. Students from various elementary schools read the 10 selected books. This year, the theme is innovation and creativity, and the books are from various genres.
This book club is an excellent opportunity to have rich discussions with students and deep dive into higher level thinking.
I try to get as many interested students as possible in my club. To have an effective club, I need multiple copies of the books. Many of my students do not attend our public libraries, nor do they have the financial ability to purchase the books. This project will allow me to include many kids who love to read!
Throughout the school year, students will be participating in mini "Olympic trials" related to the books they have read. At the end of the year, there is a field trip to a local college where the students are involved in fun activities to celebrate their hard work. The kids absolutely love getting to meet fellow students who also have a love of reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
