My Project

Dearest Donors, I am asking for you to please help me update my student library. I am a beginning teacher and a lot of books in my student library are quite old and worn out. Daily I have students coming to me with loose pages or pages missing altogether.

I truly believe in the saying, “Today a reader, tomorrow a leader!”.

By helping me refresh my student library, I am hoping to get students excited about reading. The idea is to present my class with new and exciting books that they CAN read to help instill the love of reading in them!

Mrs. Ulrich
Grades PreK-2
    More than half of students from low‑income households Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more

    This project will reach 26 students.
