My Project
Reading to young children is one of the most important activities parents and educators can do to set them up for success. Early exposure to books helps develop language skills, expands vocabulary, and strengthens comprehension, which are essential for academic achievement. It also nurtures imagination and creativity, as children learn to visualize characters, settings, and stories in their minds. Beyond academics, reading together fosters a special bond between caregivers and children, promoting emotional connections and instilling a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. When children are read to regularly, they are more likely to develop a lifelong passion for reading and learning. These are why we are reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to support the education of young learners. By donating towards purchasing books for our preschool classroom, you will directly impact the lives of children who are beginning their lifelong journey of learning.
Additionally, we believe that learning doesn't stop when children leave the classroom.
By offering parents the opportunity to borrow books to read at home, we can create a collaborative learning environment that extends beyond school hours. These books will help parents engage with their children in meaningful ways, strengthen family bonds, and encourage literacy development in a comfortable and familiar setting. When parents are involved in their child's learning journey, it enhances their academic success and social-emotional growth.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
