My Project

Dear Donors,

In the days of this digital world we live in, there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a child interact with a book!

Many books are read online. I am requesting books based on social-emotional needs to teach my students important life skills. Goose Bumps is sure to pique their interest. The classroom needs some early readers for my students who are new to the country, just learning the language and their new world. Finally, we are short a few books to meet the needs of our curriculum-based learning on digestion and nutrition. Your partnership in this project in this project will help make reading memorable for our students.

With Great Appreciation,

Ms. Wishy
