Hello! My name is Grace and I am teaching 3rd grade reading! I am a first-year teacher who is starting to build their classroom library from nothing, and I would love your help!

When you become a Book Fairy by contributing to my campaign, you’ll help me raise $300 to provide my students with a classroom full of plenty of reading choices. Any extra funds will go toward providing students who own a little amount of books at home to start a collection of books to read with their loved ones. With your help, I’ll be able to choose books that reflect the interests of every student in my class. Will you become a Book Fairy for my students? Thank you for your support!

Hi there, I’m Laura and I teach 2nd grade at Art and Science Academy (ASA). I launched this campaign to get more books in our students’ hands by expanding our grade's classroom library. One of the biggest joys of teaching is seeing a student fall in love with a book, but it’s not always easy to get the right book in the hands of the right reader.

The most effective way to get students interested in reading is to fill the classroom library with a diverse collection of books across a variety of levels. Your support will help us raise $300 to fill our 2nd grade library with new books. Growing lifelong readers is the goal—and your contribution will help do just that!

Hi! My name is Tania. I teach Kindergarten and 1st grade at New Horizons Academy. I launched this campaign to help foster my students' love of reading by expanding our classroom library. My students love to read and explore books whenever they can and as a teacher I want to be able to help that love continue to grow and blossom into a life long passion.

The most effective way for me to help my students continue to foster their love of reading and make them the best readers they can be, is to build a classroom library that has a diverse collection of books that can meet various reading levels. Your support will help me raise $400 to help our classroom library expand and help my students blossom into life-long readers.

Hi! I'm Ann, and I am the Middle School Language Arts teacher at St. Stans. Witnessing a student develop a passion for reading is one of the greatest rewards of teaching. However, providing the perfect book to each individual reader isn't always straightforward. It's not just their interests that vary; their reading levels differ as well.

With your kind support, I aim to secure $300 to infuse our classroom library with fresh, engaging reads. The ultimate objective of my class is to cultivate lifelong readers, and your contribution will play a pivotal role in achieving this aspiration. Thank you for considering joining me on this literary journey. Your generosity will make a lasting impact!

My name is Melanie Szymczak (Sim-check) and I teach reading to middle school students in our special needs program. I am looking for books that are high interest for middle schoolers, but have simpler text so the students are successful reading and understanding what they read.

I love reading and want our students to love it too! When reading is difficult, it isn't always enjoyable and I want to change that. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading my post.

My name is Katie and I am the gifted teacher at Joe Harris Elementary school. I am raising funds to help build a classroom library for my gifted students which will allow them expand their minds and challenging their learning through a love of reading. My goal is to use these resources to expand our classroom library to help support multiple grades and interest levels by providing quality books in various topics that are engaging to my students such as STEAM, coding, historical fiction, information texts ranging from animals to our solar system, and much more.

When you donate to our classroom you are providing my students with the opportunity to enrich their minds and challenging their skills through topics that interest them outside of their regular classroom curriculum. With your support these students will become life long learners with a love of reading!

Hello! My name is Alison Balmer and I teach 4th grade at Costello Elementary. I'm raising funds to give each of my 33 students at least two books for Christmas. I hope theme books will inspire them my students to read with their families. Children are taught how to read at school, but the real joy of reading is found at home.

When you contribute to my campaign, you'll help me raise $250 to send books home with my students. With your support, I will be able to choose books that reflect the interests of every student in my class. Will you help support Christmas gifts for my students? Thank you for your support!

Hello! I teach 3rd grade at Wilson Elementary. I’m raising funds to give each of my 20 students at least two books monthly — one fiction book and two nonfiction books. I hope that these books will inspire my students to read with their families. Children are taught how to read at school, but the real joy of reading is found at home.

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

We love our Book Fairs at Imlay Elementary in Hillsboro, OR! We just celebrated our 20th anniversary since we opened last year. At this special Book Fair this fall, we would like to provide every student at Imlay the opportunity to shop our book fair and choose 1 book at their reading level up to $13. Students will get to make their own wishlists and teachers will help with the final selection.

They will get to shop 11/1-11/3 with their class and add their special nameplate to their brand new book! We have a current student body of around 485 students (PK-6th). We will use Scholastic Rewards from previous fairs and this current fair to supplement this ask. Let’s help every kid “Fall in Love with Reading!”

Hello! I'm Tracie and I teach 1st grade at Carter Elementary School in Montrose, MI. I am launching this campaign in hopes of providing each of my students with books, at their individual reading level, to take home. These books would enhance students' ability to practice reading at their level, build up their home library, and spread the joy of a good book. 

Thank you for reading about how I would use this campaign to directly impact student learning. Growing lifelong learners, and a love of reading, are goals I have each year for my students. If you are able to donate, even a small amount, I am grateful! Thank you for your support!

I am hoping to get enough donations and sponsors to cover the cost to provide my students with a free book to bring home each month of the school year. Each month, I send home Scholastic Book Club flyers for families to purchase books for their children if they are able. Unfortunately, it is hard for some families to afford the “extras” for books during financially hard times. I feel it is so important to get new and exciting books in the hands of our children, not just at school, but at home as well!

If I am able to raise the funds, it would mean that by the end of Kindergarten each child would have 10 books to have at their home to keep! I will send home one book at the end of each month during the school year! Any remaining funds raised will be used to purchase books as holiday gifts or end of the school year gifts for each student! Thank you SO much for helping me get books in the hands of our littles to help them develop a lifelong love of reading!

Hello! My name is Christina and I teach 3rd grade at White Pine Charter School in Idaho Falls. I’m raising funds to give each of my 25 students at least two books monthly — one fiction book and one nonfiction book. I hope that these books will inspire my students to read with their families. Children are taught how to read at school, but the real joy of reading is found at home.

With your support, I’ll be able to choose books that reflect the interests of every student in my class. Will you become a Book Fairy for my students? Thank you for your support

Hi there! My name's Alecia and I teach third grade at a rural Wisconsin school!

I believe that a diversified classroom library can help students become diversified individuals. Books are a great way to start conversations and guide students to realize that being different is perfect, and and makes them who they are! Thank you in advance for your support.

After 24 years in education, I continue to teach students with special needs as well as diverse populations of kids to read, but also to love reading. We will never have enough diverse books - and I know this because every time a kid comes into my room and pulls a diverse book off my shelf telling me I have the best books, I can tell they aren’t seeing this everywhere.

I intentionally order books with diverse characters, from diverse authors, with high interest to kids I work with. I let those kids choose books to add to the library for all of us, and they put a message in the book for future kids. What better way to support this than to get books into kids hands!

Hola! I’m Faviola and I teach Spanish at Nolan Catholic High School. I launched this campaign to get more books in my students’ hands by expanding our classroom library. One of the biggest joys of teaching is seeing a student enjoy learning Spanish. One way to help boost their language learning is by allowing students to immerse themselves in the language via music, television and reading.

I have created a small library of Spanish books in my classroom that I have acquired through donations meaning the books can sometimes be outdated. I would love to introduce newer material that they can enjoy of various subjects! I can only be the teacher I want to be if I can fill my classroom library with a diverse collection of books across a variety of levels. Please consider becoming a "reading fairy" by making a donation to our campaign.

Hello! My name is Kristin and I'm a K-2 bilingual teacher at CICS Irving Park. I launched this campaign to provide my students with more rigorous and culturally relevant materials.

I've seen my students light up when the books we read feature characters they can relate to, and I want to foster that sense of belonging and importance in all of my students. Thank you for the generous support!

Hi there! I am absolutely so excited to be a Kindergarten teacher. Teaching Kindergarten has been one of my dream jobs since student teaching in a Kindergarten classroom.

I would love to provide a book a month to each little one in my class, whether in English or in Spanish. My class will be entirely taught in Spanish which is exciting as I have also been learning more Spanish by reading and writing. Thank you so much for helping me reach this goal and becoming a book fairy. They'll be so excited with their surprise :)

Hi there, I’m Shantel and I teach 6th-8th grade at St. Theresa School. I wanted to add diversity to our classroom library so that learners can relate to the stories that they are reading. One of the eye opening moments in watching kids read is when their eyes light up because they can relate to the character in the book. Learners are influenced by the stories in books.

Living on an island we are limited to the things that we can expose kids to, but through books, learners can experience so many things. The most effective way to do this is to fill my classroom library with a diverse collection of books across a variety of levels. Growing lifelong readers is the goal of my class—and your contribution will help do just that!
