My Project

Early literacy is the foundation of a child’s educational journey. In kindergarten, students are at a critical stage where they develop key reading and writing skills that will shape their future academic success. Unfortunately, our classroom library and literacy centers are in need of replenishment and expansion to meet the diverse needs and interests of our students.

By investing in their literacy development today, you are helping to open doors for their future success.

Your support will have a direct and lasting impact on the students in our classroom.

With your generous donations, we hope to:

Expand our classroom library with a variety of fiction and non-fiction books that reflect diverse cultures and perspectives.

Purchase leveled readers to support differentiated instruction and reading groups.

Provide literacy tools such as alphabet manipulative, phonics games, sight word activities, and other hands-on learning materials.

Create a more engaging and literacy-rich environment that inspires creativity and a lifelong love of reading.

Thank you for helping create a literacy-rich environment where every student has the tools they need to succeed!
