My Project

Every child deserves access to books that spark their imagination, inspire creativity, and build their knowledge. The first grade team is looking to improve our libraries with class sets of beloved novels. With your help we look to enrich and deepen our student's learning so they can thrive for the remainder of the year and years to come. With your generous donations, we can provide a diverse and engaging collection of books that cater to every student's unique interests and reading level. By contributing to our book fund, you’re not just purchasing books—you’re opening doors to new worlds, fostering a lifelong love of reading, and empowering students to reach their full potential.

Together, we can build a brighter future, one page at a time!

We will rotate these novels between the three first grade classrooms to extend our students learning and discuss more complex comprehension questions. Our students are ready to be challenged and we are determined to get them what they need to get there!
