My Project

These books will create a well-rounded Guidance Library and allow me to replace dated books as well. I will be able to use these books in my classroom Guidance Lessons and also allow my students to independently read them when they are in my classroom. These books cover many social and emotional topics that my students need to learn and will encourage a love for learning and reading.

My students are truly special, filled with joy and love in their daily interactions.

They are excited to learn and are encouraged to seek out new experiences and knowledge that they find rewarding.

Please consider donating to our needy school community to continue to better our amazing school!
