My Project

I'm seeking support to provide a wide variety of books for my classroom library with the goal of creating a rich and inclusive reading environment. Every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they read—and to be introduced to new perspectives, cultures, and ideas that spark curiosity and empathy.

By funding this project, you're helping put books in my students' hands that reflect a wide range of voices, experiences, and genres—from heartfelt fiction to exciting nonfiction, graphic novels, and beyond.

Your support will foster a love of reading, boost literacy skills, and help build a lifelong habit of learning and exploration.

Thank you for being part of our story!
