My Project

I am writing to you to ask you for a donation toward my project that will place books in the hands of the students I teach.

Having a classroom library will allow my students to have the opportunity to choose books they are interested in reading.

My hope for this school year is for students to enjoy reading. Your donation will help build our classroom library where students can choose books based on their interests. Please consider donating today to help place books in the hands of my future fifth graders.
