My Project

We're requesting several new books and some flexible seating options, to help fill our room and our students' hearts and minds with books that help them to develop a love of reading. Many of our current books have been "loved" a little too hard over the years and need replacing and updating. We tell our kids, don't judge a book by its cover, but so often it is hard to look past a taped on cover and ripped pages.

Please help us fill our classroom with books our students want to read, so that they can develop a love of reading that will last them a lifetime.

Someone once said, "a room without books is like a body without a soul." We have a dated library, so if this is true, our soul is torn and worn down, but you can help uplift us!

Mrs. Pace PS 42 Eltingville Grades 3-5
