Hello! My name is Bailey Reilly and I teach 7th-grade literacy at Ballard Middle School. First and foremost, thank you for taking the time out of your day to learn about my campaign and how it will impact young people.

Up until this point, the majority of my classroom library, which consists of almost 1,100 books, has been purchased with my own funds.
