My Project

Our classroom is filled with bright, curious minds ready to dive into meaningful stories. With your support, we hope to add a class set of the book Restart by Gordon Korman and a small group set of Wish by Barbara O'Connor to our library. These books will spark engaging discussions, foster empathy, and inspire our students to think critically about character growth, challenges, and perseverance.

Restart will be used for whole-class reading, allowing us to explore its themes of second chances and personal growth together, and Wish will be a part of our small group book studies, giving students the opportunity to connect deeply with themes of hope, family, and friendship.

By having access to these high-quality chapter books, our students will improve their reading comprehension, vocabulary, and analytical thinking skills while connecting to characters and stories that resonate with their own lives.

Your donation will help us foster a lifelong love of reading and provide our students with stories that stay with them far beyond the classroom.
