Sunshine State Books 2024-2025

Help me give my students new books for our library's reading incentive program!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cygan's classroom raised $832

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school library offers an incentive program to grade 3 through 5 students who read the books and answer the corresponding questions. If a student reads a Sunshine State Book and answers 3 questions about it - they earn a brag tag with the book title, a coupon for free ice cream, and their name on the school's morning announcements! Students who read more than one Sunshine State Book can also start working towards earning an invitation to the end of the year reading celebration!

This program has been wildly successful- with very close to 100 students reading at least one of the books, and over 50 have read at least 3!

Please help us continue the program by donating towards purchasing the wonderful Sunshine State Books!
