This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Vanek from Brenham, TX is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

You Read, I Read, We All Read Books, Books, Books!

Help me give my students lots of books to help grow their love of books and reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vanek's classroom raised $676

My Project

The love of books and reading starts with one book. Children who learn to read in their early years are more likely to become strong readers.

Every book we add to the library is an opportunity for a student to fall in love with reading.

Penguins and Polar Bears are books that will help grow a student's love of animals and teach them what non-fiction is. How to Catch A Reindeer grows their imagination while teaching them how to follow directions. If You Give a Party brings an old favorite to life.

The best gift to give a child is the gift of reading!
