J.C. To C.C. Literature Circles

Funded May 20, 2010

We truly appreciate your generous donation of Chris Crutcher books. Many of the students are struggling readers who grind their way through Shakespeare. Chris Crutcher offers them the same themes in a more accessible format, one in which they can relate to the characters. This course has way too much ancient literature for such a population. The more modern works have truly piqued their interest, so they read. Isn't that the point--READING?

The students also talk more freely about the Crutcher books.

Any non-textbook literature our schools' teachers must purchase from their budget, a budget earmarked for other items too. By the time we finish purchasing the essentials for classroom operations, not much is left for new works of literature.

Your gift to us is a true blessing.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Magrane
