My Project

When you step into my classroom, you'll see energetic, eager students ready to learn and problem-solve! What you might not see is that many of them come from low-income neighborhoods with limited opportunities to explore the world beyond their own.

With your donation, each student will receive their own copy of The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo.

Currently, our class is reading The BFG by Roald Dahl, and my students are captivated by our read-aloud time, always eager for more. That’s why I’m searching for our next read-aloud book—The Tale of Despereaux, an exciting adventure about a brave mouse on a quest to rescue a princess from the rats.

As we near the end of our current book, I would love to surprise my students with this next thrilling story. Your support will help bring the magic of reading to life for them—thank you!
