My Project

Our students deserve the world! They are kind, responsible, and hungry for knowledge and books. Helping us obtain these novels will help us create a thriving Read for a Lifetime program in our community. It will help us join other schools and readers throughout the state of Illinois in celebrating and advocating for the importance of reading.

Encouraging students to become lifelong readers opens a door to a successful future for them.

Not only will the program improve their literacy skills, but it will also make them better writers, as one way to become a great writer is to read great writing.
