– check out the literary locker makeover at ! These teachers are awesome!

鈥� Northside ISD (@NISD)

Following a successful campaign that easily more than met the $400 goal to pay for supplies, teachers from a variety of departments donated a week of their summer vacation to repaint the school鈥檚 blue lockers as spines of popular books: Matilda, The Hobbit, Tom Sawyer, The Giver, The Diary of Anne Frank, the Twilight series.

Think of it as a life-size library, for a giant.

Teacher Vanessa Mercedes wrote on her GoFundMe page that the staff of the Title 1 school strives to give students everything that wealthier schools enjoy and that the teachers remain 鈥渉ungry to make a positive impact in each student鈥檚 life as they grow.鈥�

The project started in the sixth-grade hallway, teacher Jessica Sweeney told , with books traditionally read in sixth-grade English Language Arts classes. But the literary-minded artists mixed in books found in both seventh- and eighth-grade classrooms 鈥� and they plan to expand the project into multiple hallways.

鈥淓ven though this is mainly [the] sixth-grade hallway, all grades walk through here,鈥� Sweeney said, 鈥渟o when they see those book spines, our hope is that it kind of reminds them, 鈥極h, hey, I鈥檝e read that book!鈥� or, 鈥楬ey, we鈥檙e reading this book now! We鈥檙e reading this book next.鈥欌��
