Today's Readers, Tomorrow's Leaders

Help me give my students new books. The school library needs help! Many books are outdated, and we want to fill the shelves with exciting new reads that get kids excited to visit, explore, and fall in love with reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rose's classroom raised $1,040

This project is fully funded

My Project

At RES our library is the heart of the school—a place where imagination takes flight and young readers begin their lifelong love of learning. But many of our books are worn, outdated, and no longer reflect the interests and needs of our students.

We want to change that!

With your help, we can bring in fresh, engaging, and age-appropriate books that excite our students and keep them coming back to see what’s new. From graphic novels and chapter books to nonfiction that sparks curiosity, every new title helps us build a space where kids are eager to explore and read.

Your support, no matter the size, will help us transform our library into a vibrant, welcoming place full of stories waiting to be discovered.
