FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nix's classroom raised $304

My Students
I teach in an urban, diverse school of 3,000+ students in the heart of Central New York. A typical classroom can have students from Myanmar, Somalia, Bosnia, and Belarus learning side-by-side with students who have never left the state. It makes for quite an interesting teaching and learning experience!
It is my goal to make my classroom a safe and versatile space where students can reach their fullest potential!
Our school is, even by our state's own calculations, drastically underfunded. We are a refugee relocation city, and many of our students are the sons and daughters of newly arrived immigrants. Built for 2,000 students, our school is incredibly overcrowded. Teachers share classrooms, students share textbooks, and space is at a premium. Students often do not have access to even the most basic of learning materials, and teachers either pay for it out of their own pockets or the students go without.
My Project
We have been extremely fortunate to receive many books from the very generous DonorsChoose community. We have a richly diverse classroom library that reflects my richly diverse students. With such blessing also comes a problem: we don't have a place to put them.
We need sturdy shelves for our classroom library.
We have some and are thankful for them, but we absolutely need more! Right now, students cannot easily access our collection because they are in piles around the classroom. DVD media shelves are the perfect size for paperback books.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
