My Project

Help me give my students durable book baggies to safely carry their books between home and school, help them stay organized, and build strong reading habits.

My students are eager, curious learners who love diving into books and exploring new ideas.

Many of them need extra support in developing their reading skills, and having consistent access to books at home is essential for their growth. These book baggies will help protect their books and make it easier for them to take their reading materials wherever they go.

My goal is to foster a love for reading by ensuring my students always have books within reach. With these baggies, they can build responsibility, stay organized, and develop the literacy skills they need to thrive. Your support will help my students become confident, lifelong readers!
