Blooming into Fourth Grade!

Funded Jul 12, 2020

This was a lovely donation form you. Students in the midst of a pandemic were able to enjoy their books, which were tailored picked based on theirs likes and favorite genres. Years later, I can look back and be grateful. Also, one of the students before graduating in 5th grade mentioned how reading a book that was given to him, thanks to your donation, opened up his world to new characters and quenched his curiosity over many questions he had about historical events.

Now in my 10th year of teaching I am coming back to DonorsChoose for the same purpose. It is astonishing how many schools lack rich libraries and have the budget of gifting a child a books of their liking. Among all the textbooks that each about literature we seem to have forgotten the piece of literature itself. This gift made by you at such a time as it was surely made an impact. It also shone a light of hope into the inner neighborhoods of the Bronx, New York.”

With gratitude,
