    Thank you so much for helping to fund this project! I can’t wait to put my students’ names on these supplies and hand them out! The school supplies and classroom materials will help my students to stay organized and succeed during the school day. I am so appreciative of your contribution!”

    With gratitude,

  • We Love Books!

    Funded Apr 9, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! I wish you could have seen the excitement on my students' faces as they watched the unboxing of our new books. As I pulled out each one, the room was filled with squeals, oohs, ahhs, and lots of clapping!

    The new books you provided for my classroom gave each student in my room a reason to get excited about reading. Some of my students are reluctant readers and find it difficult to get truly immersed in a book. This new set of library books helped to solve that problem, as it included a diverse range of interests and genres. I found that nearly every one of my students was excited to find one of these new books in their book bag the next day!

    When teaching students to read, it is so important to provide reading material that students can get excited about and relate to. Thanks to your generous donation, independent reading time was no longer a struggle to get my students to focus, but a time of day that they truly loved. Thank you for helping my students to grow in their love of reading.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Penn

These books will help to expand our classroom library. I'm a fairly new teacher and most of the books in my classroom library consist of older, hand-me-down books from other teachers or thrift stores. I would love to be able to offer my students up-to-date titles that they will love reading. Our students were learning virtually for nearly a year and many did not have books at home to read. They were primarily reading books on online platforms. For a student who is learning to read and learning to love reading, this format is just not the same as having a book in your hand. Now that they are back in the classroom, I want to be able to provide them with many options for books to read in our classroom!
