My Project

These books will make a difference in my students' learning as I continue to enhance the diverse classroom that I strive to create. My classroom is a place where my students really enjoy reading and writing.

My students will benefit by having their own books to read, annotate with an highlighter, analyze and record notes on a sticky note all donated by you our wonderful sponsors.

By funding this project you will provide great academic support for them to enhance their learning, both at school and at home.

I will have a more inclusive and equitable classroom if ALL my students have their own text without the pressure of depending on their parents or guardians to find the funds to provide it for them.
