My Project
At our K-5 elementary school, we're launching mini staff libraries that spotlight beloved characters and popular authors to spark a love for reading in our students. Each participating teacher and staff member will host a themed mini-library designed to engage young readers with books they recognize and enjoy. By modeling our own enthusiasm for reading, we aim to make literacy more approachable and exciting. With your support, we can fill these mini libraries with high-interest books that inspire curiosity, build confidence, and help every student see themselves as a reader.
