Help me give my students the support necessary to effectively read in an organized space.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Petito's classroom raised $592
This project is fully funded
My Project
We are super excited for the 2022-2023 school year to officially begin! In an effort to maximize our kiddos literacy experience we wish to create a reading nook which will help cultivate their lifelong love of learning. Your generous donation will help us provide the tools necessary to ensure our 1st graders are successful in our classroom and beyond. Appropriate shelves and storage are necessary to make the magic of reading accessible to our 1st graders. Thank you for your consideration!
Please support our 1st graders by allowing us to create an organized reading space that gives each child an opportunity to immerse themselves in comprehensive literacy learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
