Building a Community Through Novels

Funded Aug 18, 2020

Thank you so much for your generous donations. A wide selection of novels is critical for growing readers in every classroom. With the pandemic, this seems to be especially true this year. My students are devouring books and are hungry for more. They are learning more about social justice issues, other cultures, and experiencing so much more than I could have hoped during this time of restricted interaction.

The books I selected for this project were from a range of new and diverse authors. My students are engrossed with each new voice. Their excitement is palpable. I love hearing them recommend books to one another. Their conversations are rich and full of energy.

With your help, my students are not only becoming better readers but are finding comfort and adventure with the turn of every page. I couldn't have accomplished this without your help.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Hartling
