Spark Imagination!

Help me give my students books! I work in a Title I school where library time is very important to students as this is usually their only exposure to books. Help me create readers for a lifetime!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Grossklaus's classroom raised $958

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many of my student's parents have lost their jobs and are struggling financially due to COVID-19. Their only exposure to books usually comes through their weekly visits to the library which makes this such an important project.

With the right book, I've seen kids' imaginations grow which leads to better learning in the classroom.

The books selected for this project cover every grade from K-6 and include important, award-winning titles.

This very important grant will help me provide books that will spark imagination and make many children readers for life.
