Help Build a Library Students Will Never Want to Leave

Help me give my students a classroom library they will never want to leave with books that students have expressed great interest in, including several series that will leave them wanting to follow characters as they develop.

My Students

I am fortunate to teach the most beautiful minds in TN. They are preparing to be life-long learners and I’m honored to watch them fall more in love with learning each day. They have spunk, are full of enthusiasm and practice showing grit daily. I believe they deserve the right to the most quality education they can receive to prepare them for college and beyond. They are working hard to become college-ready, and I’m so honored to journey alongside them through the process. For reference: 100% of my scholars qualify for free and reduced lunch.

My Project

In just the first couple of months of school, my students have fallen in love with reading, but we need your help to keep that love alive. Our current classroom library has limited resources, many of which students have quickly read their way through. My students have been requesting new fiction and non-fiction books that they can read, however, with limited funds, I'm unable to provide new books for them at the moment. During this critical time in these young reader's lives, it would mean the world if you would consider helping contribute to their reading growth by providing new worlds for them to travel ​through literature. Your donation will go to providing young minds a library they will not want to leave and provide them with an opportunity to dream bigger than their current circumstances about where they may venture to as their learning continues.
