Help Us Build Strong Readers, Leaders, and Problem Solvers! | Mrs. Dawdy

At West Elementary, we believe students need more than academic skills to succeed—they need the tools to manage emotions, build friendships, solve problems, and persevere through challenges.

We are seeking funding for the Second Step Classroom Library Collection (Grades 2–5), a collection of engaging books that help students learn important life skills through stories they can connect with. (https://www.donorschoose.org/sl/EVWLJZaufd)

These books support lessons on empathy, self-control, kindness, resilience, emotional regulation, and responsible decision-making.

For many students, books provide a safe and powerful way to understand their feelings, learn from others, and develop confidence in themselves.

Your donation will help students:

Build empathy and kindness

Develop problem-solving skills

Learn healthy ways to manage emotions

Strengthen relationships with peers and adults

Build confidence and resilience

By funding this project, you're not just purchasing books—you're helping our students develop the social-emotional skills they need to thrive in school and in life.

Thank you for helping us support the whole child and create a school where everyone succeeds together!
