Today They Read, Tomorrow They Lead

Help me give my students diverse, STEM rich books to broaden their horizons.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Turner's classroom raised $311

My Project

My students LOVE to read! They deserve to have a rich classroom library filled with many books that interest them. They deserve books that they can see themselves in, whether they want to be an astronaut or a farmer. I want to have books on hand in my classroom that my students are excited to read.

Having a rich classroom library will help my students succeed in learning new things!

They will be so excited, with your help, to have more books that are interesting to them and on their independent reading levels. All of my students love feeling confident with a wide variety of books that they can read on their own.
