My Project

As we continue to develop into readers, I have many students transitioning into chapter books. Our classroom library is in need of books that students will want to read from cover to cover.

These books feature diverse main characters with plots that are fun, inspiring, and funny!

For reading development, readers need to be able to identify with characters in their stories. I want our students to be able to connect to their reading. Lastly, these books enhance the enjoyment of reading as well. Please consider donating to this project.

Mrs. Mays Lowell P Goodrich Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
