My Students

Our charter school is located in Harlem, NYC and serves Kindergarten-12th grade students in the heart of central Harlem. Our students are avid readers who are eager to find their next book! They recommend titles to each other and share ideas about what they've read. There is nothing that makes our kids more jazzed up than books!

Last year our students read over 75,000 books in the school year!

As our readers are growing our need for books is growing too. Our goal this year is to read over 100,000 books and YOU can be part of making this happen! Please help.

My Project

Students will engage in a study of graphic novels and their features. This is a great way for reluctant readers to dive into chapter books. We are excited to fill our student's hands with high-interest books that they will absolutely love. Research also shows that when kids find a series that they fall in love with, they are more like to read more and more and more!

Please help us meet this goal!

There is nothing our students would love more than having the latest Captain Underpants, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Dog Man books. You will make their school year if you can help us add these to the classroom library shelves!
