My Project

My students need updated books in the library! These books will be used for students to checkout, read, take AR tests on and more importantly, ENJOY.

The more the children read, the more they will know!

It is my goal to instill the love of reading into my students. I think each book can touch and teach a child in a new way and give them a new experience for them to enjoy. The majority of the books in our library are old, outdated and falling apart! Please help me get new books into my students' hands! There's a book out there for every child and I want to help them find it.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
