My Project

Our seventh grade students have shown an overwhelming interest in reading some of the YA mystery thrillers on the market. While we have some in the classroom, we do not have enough to go around. For a teacher, this is a good problem to have because it means the kids DO want to read! Please help us stock our bookshelves with engaging, thrilling mysteries that will keep our preteens at the edge of their seats. By donating, even a small amount, you are helping them foster a love for reading and build healthy reading habits.
