  • Where are the Science Fiction Books?

    Funded Oct 28, 2009

    I'm writing to express how happy and grateful I am for your generous donation. I would also like to thank you for taking the time to read my proposal online. My students were very excited when the books arrived and couldn't wait to get their hands on them.

    I would like to share with you what you have done for my students. A lot of my students are struggling readers who need to be exposed to literature. My students are motivated to read, but they have limited exposure to genres such as science fiction, fantasy, and graphic novels to name a few. In the past few years, there has been a growing interest in science fiction and graphic novels. The students in my school and community are becoming more and more interested in these genres. Because of this growing interest, I decided to ask for specific books that would match the interests of my students as well as meet their various cognitive, and social emotional needs.

    Because of your donation, my students are excited to read again. They are excited to read books they normally wouldn't choose. My boys are thrilled to read The Olympian series by Rick Riordan and my girls are ecstatic to read the series books by author Sharon G. Flake. My students really enjoy the classroom library and have completely made it their own by sharing the responsibility of cleaning it, organizing the books, and sharing them.

    Most importantly, I want to thank you for helping my students feel appreciated and noticed. A lot of them couldn't believe that someone like you would help them grow as readers. Your donation has proven to them that reading is powerful and that genres such as science fiction should not be forgotten. You have given them hope and motivation to become independent readers and thinkers, and you have helped me to continue instilling the power of reading. For all of this I thank you. ”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Hernandez

    I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly appreciate your donation and I'm extremely grateful for your generosity. Your donation will positively affect the young minds of so many readers.
