Last year, educators raised over $2 million with ClassroomsCount™ campaigns to get more of the books students love into their hands. And right now, there’s never been a better time to launch a campaign! Because this back-to-school season, we’re giving 3 lucky teachers the chance to win a $500 contribution towards their campaign!
How to Enter
All you have to do to automatically be entered to win is create a campaign between August 6 – September 6 that's set to expire on or after September 16. Already have an active campaign? You'll be entered automatically too if you set your campaign to expire on or after September 16. See official terms here.
Once you’re done creating your campaign, share it with your friends, family, and community to start raising funds right away. (Teacher tip: Campaigns that are shared on social media are 4x more likely to hit their goal.)

Raise Funds, Grow Readers
When you launch a ClassroomsCount™ campaign, you have the ability to transform your library and change lives through the power of books. Perhaps you want to give every student a book each month to keep forever, or maybe you just want to freshen up your shelves for the new school year — whatever it is, the funds you need are just a campaign away!
Getting started is simple and quick — on average it takes educators just 3 minutes, 22 seconds to create their campaign. And once you set it live, you can start raising funds right away — and all of your funds will be available to spend immediately. Even better? You can spend your money to make purchases from The Teacher Store, Book Clubs, The Scholastic Store, Scholastic Magazines+, and participating Scholastic Book Fairs.

Fill Our Shelf!
“My books are heavy in the middle school level, but light in upper elementary. I would LOVE to have funds to purchase BRAND NEW books for my students for the 24-25 year!.”
– Krista S., teacher raising $500
Reads for Miss Randolph's PreK Class
“The books ordered with these funds will be used in the classroom library, circle time, and our calm down corner. This is the year for learning through reading!”
– Savannah R., teacher raising $500
Foster a Love of Reading
“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. The most effective way to do this is to fill my classroom library with a diverse collection of books across a variety of levels.”
– April B., teacher raising $250
Karnes' Book Fairies
“Each month of the school year my goal is to get each child a book of their own. I write their name on them and give it to them each month. The smiles of joy brought to them throughout the year is so fun! We read each book as a class family and then they place it in their backpack to have a new book on their bookshelf at home.”
– Kaylee K., teacher raising $300
Book of the Month
“For the last 5 years, I have been blessed enough to be able to gift my students a book each month! It’s one of my FAVORITE traditions! I love helping my students grow their at home libraries and it means a lot to get help from my community!”
– Brandi B., teacher raising $335
New Classroom Library
“My students were thrilled to have new books. They cheered as I showed them and they all grabbed a new book to read for reading time. I told them about more books I just ordered and they can’t wait to get their hands on them. There has definitely been an increase in the desire to read since the new books arrived.”
– Wendy T., teacher raising $200
3rd Grade Monthly Book Club
“For the past two years, I have been able to put new books in students’ hands due to the generosity of family, friends, and the community. They take pride in these books. For some students, these are the only books that they get to call their own. Students get so excited to see the sponsorship book they receive each month. Providing these books encourages reading outside of the classroom!"
– Allison S., teacher raising $600
Littles' Library
“I am going into my first year of teaching Special Education. I am looking to raise as much money as I can, so I can get books for my classroom, and inspire a love of reading in every student.”
– Hannah C., teacher raising $650
