Teacher Kelsey Kalamar
Hello! My name is Kelsey Kalamar, and I’m a 2nd grade teacher at Freemansburg Elementary School in the Bethlehem Area School District. I’m raising funds to provide each of my students with at least one brand-new book every month — books they can truly call their own. My goal is to spark a love of reading by helping students begin building their very own personal libraries at home. There’s something magical about owning a book — turning the pages, writing your name inside the cover, and revisiting your favorite parts again and again. By supporting this campaign, you’ll become one of our cherished Classroom Book Fairies, helping bring joy, excitement, and opportunity to young readers. Each month, I’ll share updates and photos so you can see the smiles and celebrations that come with every unboxing. To make your gift even more special, I’ll place a custom label inside each book noting the year and your name — a lasting reminder of your generosity. Thank you so much for considering a donation. Your kindness will help my students grow, imagine, and thrive. “A book is a gift you can open again and again.” – Garrison Keillor
