Help me give my students an easy access bookcase to explore books in their classroom library!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pappas's classroom raised $456

My Project

My students love getting the opportunity to participate in daily quiet reading when returning from recess. Our current classroom library is set up using bins and often becomes disorganized. Students struggle to find the book they are looking for, which has lead to books being damaged.

A new classroom bookcase will make books more accessible to my students!

Students will be more independent in keeping our books organized and free from damage. They will be able to quickly find the book they are looking for and return to their seats. Thank you for considering donating to our classroom and helping with student independence during quiet reading time.
