Hi there! I would love to transform a corner of my classroom into a calm, fleixble seating reading area for my 8th grade students. We think as adults that by the time a student enters 8th grade that they don't need downtime or reading areas but they need it now more than ever.

I would love to just have a space where they can unplug from technology and immerse themselves in reading and escaping reality even if for just a few minutes. Thank you for your support!

Hi there, my name is Lacey Carter! I am a kindergarten teacher in the Central Washington area. As a new teacher, I am still building my classroom library. I am looking to get more books about social emotion and problem solving. This is very useful in a kinder class because they are still learning how to manage emotions and how to solve their own small problems. I also would love cultural books to let every student know they are special.

Thank you in advance for your support!

If you know me well, you know how much I love reading and how important I feel it is. In 2022, I read 36 books during my free time! Next fall, I will be entering my 5th year of teaching. Over the past 4 years, I have been teaching elementary special education. However, I will be starting a new position as a middle school special education teacher.

My classroom library is in need of books appropriate for grades 6-8. My books are outdated, damaged, and do not discuss engaging and important topics as much as I would like. I am also working to include books of various cultures, races, ethnicities, abilities, etc. Revamping my classroom library will take a lot of money. Your donations are will allow me to stock my library with selections that help inspire a love for reading in all of my students. Any donation is helpful and I greatly appreciate your support!

Hi there, it is my first year teaching 3rd grade at the Trimont Elementary. I launched this campaign to fill my classroom library with a variety of books! I have a pretty good start by bringing my home library to school, but I’d love to offer books of every genre. One of the biggest joys of teaching is seeing a student fall in love with a book. It is important to have a variety of books so that the students can read things that they are interested in. Not only are students interested in different things, but they all read at different levels, so having a variety of leveled books is so important!

I can only be the teacher I want to be if I can help my students become better readers. Your support will help me raise $500 to fill my classroom library with brand new books (not just my own well-loved library). Growing lifelong readers is one of the many goals I have for teaching—and your contribution will help do just that! 

Hello there! My name us Heather and I am lucky to be a teacher at Imagine Schools West Melbourne. I am launching this campaign to continue developing the love of reading in my students. There is nothing like seeing your students dive deep into a new book, exploring new worlds and learning new things. Having a diverse and expansive library ensures that I will have books to satisfy the interests of all my students.

A classroom is also made up of a variety of reading levels, so having books on each student's level is a must. In order to be the best teacher I can be, I need to strive daily to encourage my students to become better readers and develop a love of reading. The easiest way to reach these goals is to have the most exciting and varied books in my library. Thank you, so much, for your time and support!

As some of you know, I have accepted a new teaching position for next school year teaching special needs Pre-K/Headstart. I am launching this campaign in order to raise funds to not only build a classroom library, but to provide my students with books that promote social and emotional development.

Social emotional development is critical in the preschool setting, and even more so in those children with special needs. These children develop appropriate social skills through lots of practicing, modeling, repetition, visual cues, and support. Your support will help me purchase books that will not only provide entertainment, but teach valuable skills to these sweet babies. Thank you so much!

My students LOVE receiving a new book each month. Some even squeal for joy when I tell them they are getting their monthly book! Some very hard working families cannot afford to purchase books to have at home, especially at various times of the year when holidays and new school supplies take much of their incomes. But, reading is SO important. How amazing would it be for each student to receive ONE BOOK every month at no cost to their parents?

Scholastic has books every month that are $1. I would LOVE for each of my students to be able to bring home a new book each month during the school year from September to May. Thank you so much for helping to support my students and our classroom! I appreciate it more than words can explain!

Each year most of my students say they do not have any books of their own at home. I want to ensure my books continue their love of reading by having books of their very own to take home and keep. If my students read each day with their loved ones their reading skills will continue to grow even after they have left my classroom!

My students know I love to read and we create a connection each year through reading together. My students will be able to look back on this special memory with these books as well!

Hi there! I am a second grade teacher at Prairie Dell Elementary, and I am going into my sixth year of teaching this year. Reading is so important, and getting fun, new, and engaging books into the hands of my students is always a priority of mine.

With this campaign I am asking you to "sponsor" a child in my class. I will have 20 students, so if 20 people donate $8, I will be able to purchase $1 books for my class for 8 months of the school year, September-April. This means every month, each student in my class will get a brand new book for them to take home! My students and I appreciate your support!

Reading is the foundation for learning, and it begins at birth! After teaching in a preschool classroom for 15+ years and raising my 5-year old with another baby on the way, I chose to further my career and take on the role of Associate Director of Early Learning.

Parents/guardians are a child’s first teachers. I want to be able to give each student in my care books to be able to read at home with their families. I strongly believe that book turn everyday activities into meaningful, teachable moments and all children should have access to books in their home. Books create warm emotional bonds between adults and kids when they read books together. Please join me in raising funds in order to be able to provide books to all of the children in my care to bring home and read for the summer with their families.

My name is Lucy Brooks, and I teach at the sweetest little school in East Tennessee. I will be new to 1st grade this year and would like to refresh my classroom library to make it more appealing to my newest readers.

First grade is a HUGE year for reading growth and can lay the foundation for a love of reading. Help me cultivate a love of reading in my sweet 1st graders!

Thank you in advance for your support!

I am so excited for the start of a new school year! This year I am going to have 17 new second grade learners and I cannot wait to get to know them all! The past few years I have had so many wonderful people who volunteered to sponsor my class and every month each student got a brand new book to bring home. It has been incredible and the students have absolutely loved it. This year I would love to continue this and get more books into the hands of kids!

This idea will allow the kids to bring home a new reading adventure each month. Scholastic has weekly and monthly deals with books for just $1! This means that each of my students can take home a book every month for less than $20. With that said, any donation would be amazing and would help make this idea work. Thank you in advance!!! My second graders and I are so appreciative!!! 

Hi everyone, my name is Jessica and I teach pre-Kindergarten. I launched this campaign to get more diversity books in my students' hands by expanding our classroom library. With your support, I'll be able to choose books that reflect the interests of every student in my class and continue to be the teacher I want to be if I can help my students by fill my classroom library with a diverse collection of books. I hope that these books will inspire more diversity around them and their families.

When you become a Book Fairy by contributing to my campaign, you'll help me raise $300 to send books home with students. Thank you for your support!

Hi everyone! I teach first grade in a high impact Title 1 school without a PTA so acquiring materials and filling up a classroom library full of books falls solely on the teacher. My students come from vast backgrounds and cultures.

I would love to collect books in which they see themselves and to inspire a love of reading. Your support will help me buy books for my classroom for learners to enjoy and read year after year. Thank you for considering!

My name is Dawn Fenton and I am a teacher at a special education high school on Long Island. My school services 52 local districts with students that have a variety of disabilities. I am running this campaign because my school does not have a library or a classroom library!

I would like my students to have the option to independently read books that are considered more current and of their interest. Even though this is a high school program, many of the students that attend my school do not read on grade level, some even read at elementary levels.

By contributing to my campaign, you’ll help me raise $500 to create a classroom library for my students. I promise these funds will benefit kids my student population for years to come. With your support, I’ll be able to give my students a chance to enjoy reading books that are of interest to them, hoping to spark that love of reading. 

My school is growing and we are creating a diverse student body and faculty. We are especially interested in having books with BIPOC protagonists or LGBTQ protagonists. If you would like to help me, I would be so glad! My students will benefit from these books for years to come.

I always donate well-loved copies of books to schools in developing countries or offer them up to family shelters. Your donation will help me replace some well-loved copies of books and donate those copies making your gift double in power and joy! Thank you so much for making this world a better place!

Hello! My name is Claire and I teach 4th Grade at Citizenship Academy. I am trying to raise funds add more responsive, engaging, and diverse books to my classroom library. My favorite part of each day is DEAR time, when all students Drop Everything And Read. There is something so inspirational about seeing 25 4th Graders eager and excited to read.

I have a classroom library my students currently use, but time is certainly wearing on these books. I hope to provide my students with books that can serve as "mirrors and windows" to their world, showing them a variety of characters, perspectives, and situations. With your support, I’ll be able to choose books that reflect the interests of every student in my class, helping foster the Love of Reading in more of today's youth. Will you become a Book Fairy for my students? Thank you for your support!

Hello! My name is Myohwa and I teach Pre-School at Joan Snow. I’m raising funds to build a library that is culturally inclusive and diverse. I hope that these books will make my students feel loved and seen.

Children are taught how to build a love for reading by seeing diverse representations of all people. With your support, I’ll be able to choose books that reflect the interests of every student in my class.

Thank you for your support!
