My Project

Help us transform our classroom environment by creating a space to inspire, motivate and help our diverse students love reading! Book clubs have been crucial to our reading program, giving kids choices in what they read. A book nook to feature the latest book club choices and flexible seating for groups will help inspire and continue to motivate students to read longer and maintain focus! Our classrooms are older and are in desperate need of makeovers! Help us transform our classroom into an environment that is safe, warm, exciting and motivational for our students! We really need your help!
