    I am thrilled to be able to have some new goodies like snacks, stickers and fidgets on hand to give to my students whenever they may need. My supply of these items definitely needed a refresh for the start of the school year. Thank you for helping make this possible!”

  • The Hunger Games!

    Funded Sep 10, 2022

    My students absolutely LOVED The Hunger Games! We had such a great time during this novel study and it was an exciting introduction to dystopian literature for many of the students. We read the book and then watched the movie and both were such a hit! The majority of my class were begging to read the next book in the series. I had to make a waitlist for it, which just brought so much joy to my heart!

    At the end of the year, I always ask students what their favorite book of the year was. This year, it was by far The Hunger Games. I couldn't have made this happen without your generous donations!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Somoano

  • Class Supplies to Help Us Thrive!

    Funded Jan 1, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding our class project! These supplies are so needed and will be well loved. I already have plans to put our new art supplies and color printer into use!

  • Building an Inclusive Classroom Library

    Funded Jan 23, 2022

    Thank you so much for helping me fund this project! The very first day the boxes arrived, my students were eager to dive right in and take home a new book.

    Since receiving our books, students have been enthusiastic about independent reading and are even sharing their recommendations with me and their fellow classmates. "When Stars Are Scattered" and "Fast Pitch" have been particularly popular!

    Thank you for helping me bring the joy of reading to my classroom with these new titles. We are so appreciative.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Somoano

It is so important that the novels in my classroom reflect the racially, culturally, and socially diverse backgrounds that my students come from. Providing them with a library that reflects their families, cultures, and backgrounds will help them feel accepted and valued. My students love to read and some of the books you see here were specifically requested! Many of my students do not have a way to access high-interest books at home, and the only way they receive new titles to explore is through school. Help me make all of their literary dreams come true!
