The Education Foundation came through again! They funded a project proposed by IMS Teacher of the Year Sandra Racette. Through her reading class and this project she is starting an at home library for each of her students! She wanted each student to have their own copy of the book they are reading in class so that they can mark it up, dog ear pages and call it their own. Thank you Mrs. Racette for this great idea and the Education Foundation for making it possible.
