My Project

I try to make time for reading. Whether it’s for work or for pleasure, I read to stay informed, to spark new ideas, to renew my spirit, and to better understand others’ perspectives. I can’t imagine my life without the written word—and I’m grateful to the teachers, including my grand-mother, who gave me the gift of reading when I was young.

Help me inspire my students to develop a gift of reading by providing them a variety of book and the written word as it transforms or lives.

Together we can help the community of Brownsville reach their goals.

Ms. Swain PS 446 Riverdale Ave Community School Grades 3-5
