Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader

Help me give my students a welcoming classroom library to inspire their love of reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Clark's classroom raised $787

My Project

My fifth grade classroom is full of wonderful students who are continuing to build their love of reading!

We are seeking materials to revamp our classroom library and create a welcoming, inviting space that helps kids get excited about sitting down with their new favorite book.

In addition to seating and some decorative items, we added many new books to our list with input from last years' class! My kids love fantasy books, mystery books, and nonfiction books about a variety of topics!

We hope that you will support us in building up our library in preparation for the upcoming school year!
