Kindergarten Students See Themselves as Authors

Hi, we are teachers at Clinton Elementary School in Lincoln, Nebraska. We are a Title I school where 95 percent of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Your gift will make it possible for 78 kindergarten students to take home a published book that they are authors and illustrators of to cherish with their families for a lifetime.

Throughout the school year, we have been practicing our writing skills by sounding out words, using capital letters when needed, detailed artwork, punctuation, and spaces between words. Through the publication of this book, students can showcase everything they have learned in Kindergarten. As a class, we collaborate to decide on a topic and title for our story. Students work through the writing progress of making a rough draft, revising, and writing a final copy. Our students put in a lot of effort to create these books and are proud to show them to their families. However, not all of our families can purchase a book. We are asking for the funds to purchase 1 book per student author.

We are requesting $1,791 plus cost reimbursement.

Thank you for your consideration in helping our students become published authors,
Clinton Kindergarten Team

We want to thank the generous donors who have helped us get closer to our goal! We are so close to being able to purchase a book for each student so they will be able to take home a published copy of the book they helped write. Our scholars are so excited to start their books this coming week! 

Thank you!!
