Turning Pages, Changing Lives!

Help me give my students more books—we have a real shortage of chapter books in our classroom. My students are excited about reading and ready for longer, more engaging stories, but our shelves just can't keep up.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Agas's classroom raised $998

My Project

My students are curious, creative, and full of potential. They come to school eager to learn and explore the world around them—especially through books. What I love most is their excitement when they discover a story that speaks to them or a character they can relate to.

Right now, our classroom library is limited, especially when it comes to chapter books.

With more engaging and age-appropriate books, my students will have the opportunity to build their reading skills, expand their vocabulary, and develop a true love for reading. These resources will not only help them grow academically but also spark their imaginations, boost their confidence, and show them that their stories matter, too.
