Refresh and Renew Student Love of Non Fiction

Help me give my students engaging non-fiction titles to support comprehensive literacy.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fakhoury's classroom raised $1,023

This project is fully funded

My Project

Non-fiction titles are essential to a well-rounded classroom!

Students have begun to love reading again through engaging and enjoyable fiction series, especially graphic novels BUT students still only have access to outdated non-fiction books in the classroom.

Help me introduce the enticing worlds of non-fiction to the students through new, engaging, and diverse non-fiction titles. These titles span many topics that my current students are already passionate about. Help them see that their interests and passions are still important and relevant to school.
