  • How to Read the Constitution and Why!

    Funded Nov 10, 2019

    Thank you so much for this wonderful gift and opportunity for our class to study the constitution. I look forward to our discussions fostered by the book. Your gift proves to our students that the constitution deserves to be studied and appreciated by all people and all that appreciated the freedoms it secures.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Matranga

  • New Textbooks to Help With a Redesigned Course

    Funded Apr 19, 2019

    Thank you so much for the textbooks. The students have really enjoyed working with the updated materials. The supplemental information has been a great addition to our classroom discussions.

    Students like the ability to bring the books with them to and from class. The questions are ideal to reinforce classroom ideas and concepts. We have worked with questions in depth and seemed to be gaining valuable preparation for the AP Exam in May.

    But the greatest impact might be the gaining interest in government and politics. Students have grown in interest and depth of knowledge.

    On behalf of our students and their futures, Thank you.”

    Mr. Matranga

  • AP US Government and Politics Review Book, Exam May 4!

    Funded Mar 18, 2017

    Your generous gift has made a lasting impact for the students. According to one student "The book really helped me get a deeper understanding of government and it also helped me with my test taking skills. With this extra help, going into the test taking area, I felt very confident that I would pass. The book really did help me, I would recommend it to anyone." Our students seemed prepared and appeared to posses a confidence not previously found. Another student wrote : I would like to thank donors choose for my AP Government placement test practice book. It really helped me with my timing on the test and my FRQ section. I learned to take my time and reread my answers. I also learned how to cancel out which answers were wrong. Going into the exam I thought I was going to forget a lot but having the book before hand I got to review as many times as I needed to. Without the book, I think I would have gotten lost in my notes and probably forget half of the things i was taught in my classroom. Thank you so much for the book and I'm glad that i was able to use it and hopefully when I get my test scores it shows how much the book helped me better my knowledge. And according to another student : I really appreciate the books you guys provided us with. They made a tremendous impact with our learning. This gift help me feel very comfortable when it was time to take the AP exam , everything looked as if I saw it before so it was like a second nature. My teacher Matranga did a swell job with informing is with the material by doing FRQs quizzing us from the questions that were provided from the textbook. Overall, I wanna give a big thank you and tell you that you really made a difference with my learning and now I can truly say I am eager for my results ,because I had trust in the process from the book.

    To echo the students thank you for the gift.

    Best wishes and continued generosity.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Matranga

These books will allow our students to review materials for their upcoming examination on May 4, 2017. These books will give the students the preparation and confidence my students need to succeed on the exam. What is good about these review books is they are not just collections of exams but instead real informational content which will benefit our students in their review. Review is essential to success on the examination. If they receive a qualifying score they can be eligible to gain college credit from the course. There is no better time to be studying US Government and Politics!
