As a teacher, one of my greatest joys is watching my students grow — not just as readers and writers, but as young people discovering who they are and who they want to become. As my 8th graders prepare to take the next big step into high school, I want to give them something meaningful to take with them: a book that reminds them that they are worthy, capable, and that reading can elevate their lives. Your donation will help me provide each student with a book focused on self-growth, confidence, and the power of learning. My goal is for every student to leave my classroom with a story that inspires them to believe in themselves and continue reading — not just for school, but for life. Every contribution, big or small, helps send these incredible students off with a reminder that they matter and that their potential is limitless. Thank you for helping me share the joy and power of reading with my students!
