My Project

We have extremely hard working students who want to reach any goal we put in front of them. In the 23-24 school year, we want at least 40 students to become millionaires (meaning they read 1,000,000 words). We also want them to read books that they enjoy in an attempt to make them lifelong readers and learners!

Students have filled out surveys naming books that they would like to read.

Please help us fill our libraries with great books! Students will read during intervention each day for 20 - 45 minutes.

Ms. Collins KIPP Academy Nashville Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
