Help me give my students Books to explore financial literacy and self care and graphic novels.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Strayve's classroom raised $957
This project is fully funded
My Project
Our school library has been closed for fifteen years and we have started rebuilding our collection from scratch. Common requested books are financial literacy, self care and mental health support, suspense, and graphic novels. We think these selections will round out our collection and spark our students interest.
We take student suggestions and want to make sure students feel heard by frequently adding their requests to our collection.
We want to make sure students can find something on our shelves that they are interested in and want to read during class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
