My Students

My students love books! We always need more and I want to start the new year with lots of brand new books!

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library is the place that equalizes them.

We have students from around the block and around the world. We have students that are learning English and that are learning other languages. Give to a school that has many cultures, diversity, and adversity!

My Project

We will read, read, read and read some more! Studies have repeatedly shown that students who are allowed to choose their own reading materials, continue to read and build their literacy skills! Please help me build readers and continue to encourage reading in our school! I want to start the new year with these new books, and will need tape and Goo Gone to protect and clean our old books so all look new! Please help our school by providing us with heavy duty tape and residue remover to keep our books looking exciting and new!

Every student will be impacted by this item because it will be used in the library.

Please help our students become more knowledgeable and excite their natural curiosity by giving them the tools to find information by themselves!
