My Project

As students returned to in-person learning this school year, many showed a high interest in borrowing books from my classroom library. Thanks to previous DonorsChoose projects, I've had plenty for students to choose from. However, these readers are eager for more! Since our high school students don't have access to a school library, I'd like to refresh my classroom collection in time to loan some books out over summer break.

Your donation will help put more books into my students' hands.

I've narrowed it down to a few categories that students have seemed particularly drawn to this year, and I'm excited to feed their desire for more poetry, YA nonfiction, sports stories, and Hmong writers!
