My Project

I put together a booklist from the top charts.

I want to have a book cart available so students can take home books to read for themselves or with younger siblings this summer.

Your donation will help lift literacy and encourage more students to read over the summer. Reading aloud is great practice to increase reading comprehension and fluency. Your donation will help increase literacy in our high school and encourage students to maintain an academic mindset over summer break. Reading is a joy and i'm excited to share it with more students.
