Bringing Books Back to BSES!

Help me give my students an opportunity to have actual books and other print materials in their hands. My students have not had access to their own books or magazines due to Covid.

My Project

Bringing Books Back to BSES is special because it puts print material back into the hands of students. Because of Covid, students have not had the opportunity to access libraries as frequently or read books that are of interest to them. This project allows students to read relevant and interesting materials right at their own seats in school.

Even the most hesitant reader will devour an article or story of interest.

Having the Scholastic subscription will allow all students in a class period to get to read something of high interest in print and have valuable discussions. I have seen the value of putting down the computers sometimes and reading in print, especially in our district where students are able to go to various websites seemingly undetected. This will allow them to read without distraction on a regular basis.

Additionally, the Keeper of the Lost Cities series was featured in one of my "First Chapter Friday" series. The demand for that series has been high, and our library only has some of the books in the series so I would love to be able to share this with students at a time when they WANT to read it.

Thank you for funding Bringing Books Back to BSES. Our kids are worth it!
