Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

Producing life-long readers, starting in 5th grade! Provide these students with the inspiration to read!

In this high-need district, some students have never had a book of their own! Classroom libraries are sparse and students have a hard time finding books they like. However, I have had great success getting students hooked on reading novels as a class! Our library does not have enough novels to go around, so we need help!

Our class is in need of books for our classroom library. Some of these students have never had a book of their own and can not afford to buy books for themselves. Giving them a novel to start our novel study will also help the start their own library at home! What a great way to get students interested in reading; giving them their very first book!

With your help these students will have something to bring home and remind them of how wonderful the world of books can be! With your help you can inspire these children to value reading and literature!
