My Project

I am incredibly fortunate to work with a bright, passionate group of students who are committed to learning and improving every day. They understand the importance of education and continually push themselves to progress through reading. Despite the challenges they face, their resilience is truly inspiring.

Many of my students come from financially challenged families and have limited access to books outside the classroom.

Our classroom library and the Media Center are their main sources of reading material. While I’ve been able to gather book donations from the community, they have expressed a strong desire for more chapter books—books that fuel their imaginations and help them achieve their reading goals.

This project aims to provide a set of chapter books to support their love for reading and further develop their skills. These books will help them explore new worlds, build vocabulary, and improve comprehension. My students are highly motivated, especially with their AR (Accelerated Reader) goals. They consistently push to reach new milestones, with many aiming for their AR shirt as a reward for their hard work.

Though I try my best to provide the resources they need, purchasing these books has been challenging due to financial priorities. With your help, we can provide the chapter books they crave, showing them that their efforts are valued.

My students are full of potential, creativity, and determination, and this project will support them in becoming lifelong readers. Thank you for considering this request to help my students grow and thrive!
