Hooray! This project is fully funded

I am the media coordinator at a title 1 elementary school. We have a school enrollment with 80% of our students on free or reduced lunch. Most of our parents are laid off furniture workers and/ or single parents so we do not expect lots of financial help from them. Our kindergarten and first grade students have just started to enjoy reading independently. They especially like the sunshine books put out by the Wright Group. Since these books are paperback and are circulated so much, the have become very worn. Some have pages missing and most of them have been taped back together. Even in these conditions, the younger students and their teachers love these books. We would really love to have a new set. We now use the Kapco book covering to help paperback books be more durable so they last longer. These books really get the students reading and that is my goal in the school media center. We all realize that when students develop a love for reading at a young age, they are more likely to become life long learners.
