My Students

This project will provide military kids living on a military base with new diverse books. All of the students at our school live far away from home while one of their parents serves in the military. Our school is Kindergarten through 6th grade and some of these students have lived on three different military bases in their short lives. Due to all this moving, they often don't have many social connections outside of the home.

Our students are kind, caring and overall great kids.

It is a pleasure to work with them every day. I, of course, want the best for them. They are truly grateful when projects are funded. Thank you for your support.

My Project

I have been working hard to make sure our school library has books that represent our student population. I started in this library this school year and the average age of the collection was from 2002. I have been getting rid of old books and updating them with current titles. I am adding more diverse titles into our collections and the students are loving it.

I think every student should be able to see themself in our library collection.

This project will help me add some fiction and non-fiction titles to our collection. Thank you for your support. My students are always grateful when we receive donations.
