This is my 13th year in the classroom and 10th year teaching 5th grade! I have learned during this time that there are few things more important than creating an interesting and varied reading environment. Giving students as many options as possible when it comes to book choice is vital to stimulating curiosity and instilling a love for the activity. This money will allow me to add to the thousands of books that I already provide for my students and provide current and interesting literature. Thank you for your time and for helping my classroom.

Hi Everyone! As my new school year is beginning, things look a little different! I am now a teacher in the largest school district in Kansas. As a district, we educate 11% of the student population in the entire state. This means that as a district, we house approximately 47,000 students across 88 schools. My current role as a fourth grade teacher is within an elementary school that is considered a title 1 school, where 90% of our student population is from poverty. Why are all of these numbers important? They include our future leaders. As an educator, I am responsible for preparing these students to become the best citizens and members of their community. As we all know, life works best with teamwork, so I am here to ask for help! Reading abilities in our district are lower than they should be, and I think a big part of that is the lack of access to books for these students. I am hoping to have some people who would like to become a "book fairy" for my students this year. Scholastic has books as low as $2 and my goal is to put a new book into each one of my students hands each month. This would mean that throughout the year, they'd have access to 9 books to take home. I currently have 16 students. I am looking for 16 people who would like to donate $18.00 in order to buy a book for each one of my students for the 9 months of the school year! I've had incredible support in the past with this and I'm eternally grateful for each and every one of you. Please know that you are part of the reason a student might have grown a passion for reading because they had access to a book to bring home that they normally might not have. Scholastic has made it easy this year as you can donate directly toward my scholastic account to buy books! If you made it this far, I thank you! Please help me in trying to foster a love of reading into all of my students this year! Love always, Ms. Bedore

Hello! My name is Alysson, and I am a fourth grade teacher. I’m raising funds to give my students at least one book for each marking period of the school year. This will help them build their own home libraries. Many families at my school do not have the financial means to purchase books, so I want to make sure my students have their own books to read and share at home! By becoming a Book Fairy, you can help me send books home with students, and maybe even grow our own classroom library! Scholastic books can cost as little as $3.00, so just $10 can provide one child with three new books to add to their own library! Will you become a Book Fairy for my students? Thank you so much for your support!

With your help, my 5th graders will grow their love of reading! I aim to keep my classroom library stocked with new, high-interest books, provide books for my students to keep, and invest in books that celebrate the diversity in my classroom. Thank you for supporting my classroom and being a partner in putting books into the hands of my amazing students! Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and well-used!

Hi there, I’m Mrs. Thompson, and I teach 4th grade at Lakeside Elementary. 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 fall in love with a book. But it’s not always easy to get the right book in the hands of the right reader. Some of my students are interested in books about animals, while others are passionate about sports or history. Not only are my students interested in different things, but they also read at different levels! I can only be the teacher I want to be if I can help my students become better readers. The most effective way to achieve this is to fill my classroom library with a diverse collection of books at various reading levels. Your support will help me raise $500 to fill our classroom library with new books. Growing lifelong readers is the goal of my class—and your contribution will help do just that! Thank you, Mrs. Thompson
