The Gift of Storytelling: Help Us Expand Our Classroom Library

Help me give my students the new books they have been asking for, such as We Who Produced Pearls, which highlights Asian Americans' contributions, and the books in the Amari and the Night Brother series, which has a waitlist for kids who want to read them.

My Project

My vibrant and curious students are eager to dive into new stories and learn about the world through reading. Their love for adventure and learning inspires us to create a richer classroom library that expands their horizons.

With your support, we'll be able to purchase new books for our classroom library that will engage my readers.

These books will not only help improve literacy skills but also foster a deeper love for reading.

My students are unique individuals with their own dreams, talents, and aspirations. Some are budding artists, others are future scientists, and many are young leaders in the making. What unites them is their eagerness to learn and grow. Your contribution will help us provide the resources they need to flourish and reach their full potential. Thank you for considering our project. Together, we can create a space where imagination and learning take flight.
