I want to use these funds to help my students get the one book they truly want to have in their hands. Whether it’s a story that inspires them, a novel that makes them feel seen, or a book that opens up new worlds, every student deserves to experience the joy of owning a book they personally connect with. My goal is to create a classroom where students are not just readers—but excited, curious, and lifelong readers. Putting the right book in their hands is the first step.
