My Project

This project will help fund a classroom library for students at a Title one school who don't have easy access to many books and resources. This will help to stock a first-year history teacher and enable the classroom to become a place of learning, where books are accessible to all the students.

At this school, students spend 30 minutes a week, as required by the principal reading, but don't always have access to the best book.

Help give that access!

Thank you for considering a donation to our school and contributing to my class!
