MILES FOR BOOKS is a project that promotes the culture and values of Ridgetop Elementary School, a Dual Language school in Austin.

This campaign will be launched on December 9th and will finish on December 16th. My name is Luis Reséndiz and I am a first grade Dual Language teacher at Ridgetop Elementary and I will attempt to run 50 miles in less than 8 hours around Ridgetop Elementary.

The goal is to collect funds for these wonderful kids to purchase a Book Vending Machine fully equipped with Bilingual books.

Students are facing reading challenges coming from 2 years of online learning and we are in need to support them with reading materials. I am asking for your support to help the most valuable assets of this planet: the kids! 

All of your contribution will go directly to the classrooms. The goal is to equip students with bilingual texts that support the varied facets of their learning needs. 
 
Sponsors like you make an impact in the lives of children in need and their communities. Help us give them a brighter future together.

MILLAS CON CAUSA es un proyecto de recaudación de fondos para promover la cultura y valores académicos de la Escuela Primaria Bilingüe Ridgetop, una escuela de programa Dual en Austin, Texas.

Esta campaña será lanzada el Lunes 5 de Diciembre y terminará el Viernes 16 de Diciembre del 2022.

Mi nombre es Luis Reséndiz. Soy maestro de Primer Grado en Ridgetop y correré 80 kilómetros en menos de 8 horas alrededor de la escuela dentro de la comunidad Ridgetop.

El objetivo es recaudar fondos para apoyar a los maravillosos estudiantes comprando una Cabina de Libros equipada con libros bilingües en Inglés y Español.

Los estudiantes están enfrentando retos académicos después de estos 2 años de enseñanza virtual y necesitamos de su apoyo para comprar libros para todos ellos. Es por ello que solicito su cooperación para ayudar a quienes más nos necesitan: ¡LOS NIÑOS Y NIÑAS!

El total de su aportación irá directamente a los salones de clase. La meta es equipar a los estudiantes con libros bilingües que fortalezcan a los distintos niveles de lectura.

Contribuyentes como usted hacen la diferencia en las vidas de los niños que más lo necesitan, tanto dentro como afuera de las escuelas. Ayúdanos a que juntos podamos brindarles un futuro mejor.
