Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader

Help me give my students a classroom library that engages their curiosity and fosters a love of books and reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Riggs's classroom raised $698

My Project

Please help me provide new books for our classroom library. Currently our classroom library is very small, something I hope to change!

Having a variety of books to choose from is very important for our students.

Providing students with a wide array of books at varying levels and content areas ensures that each student can find a story that speaks to them. My hope is that a diverse classroom library will foster students interest and excitement towards reading.

Knowing that people care about the well-being and education of my students helps me feel inspired! Thank you for supporting my students.
