My Project
The incentive items we’re requesting—such as books, school supplies, small toys, and certificates—will serve as powerful motivators in our Accelerated Reader (AR) program. These rewards recognize students' reading achievements and encourage consistent participation, which helps improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, and overall literacy skills. When students know their efforts are celebrated, they are more likely to develop a positive attitude toward reading and strive to reach new goals.
Our goal is to foster a strong reading culture by making reading fun, engaging, and rewarding.
Through this project, we aim to increase student participation in the AR program, improve reading levels across grade levels, and create confident, enthusiastic readers who see reading as a lifelong habit.
What makes our students special is their resilience, curiosity, and determination. Many of them face daily challenges, yet they come to school eager to learn and grow. By supporting this project, you're helping create an environment where every student feels seen, celebrated, and inspired to reach their full potential through the power of reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
