My Students

Many of my students face challenges at home where they come from low socioeconomic families, which can pose an additional stress onto them. My hope is to help my students develop a growth mindset and continue their path to becoming great citizens. They are our future, and I want to give them a great start to their long successful career.

"Some people care too much, I think it's called love" - Winnie the Pooh.

This is a the perfect quote to describe my students. They are caring, loving, and full of life. My students are explorers, dreamers, and most importantly learners.

My Project

This donation will help my kids continue to love reading. Our library will not look empty any longer and will be filled with a variety of books at their reading level. They will no longer have to read the same old book over and over again. My students will be excited about choosing new books of their choice during independent reading, guided reading, and partner reading time.

I can't wait to see their excited and happy faces when our library is stocked with books they love and are interested in.

Theses books will make a difference in the lives of my students and your donation will greatly be appreciated.
