Support Mr. Silver's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
To prosper in a global society, one must truly understand diversity. I teach tenth grade English at a high-need school where 100% of the students receive free lunch due to income. The school is 90% Hispanic. My students are extremely ambitious and sincerely crave knowledge. Their intellectual curiosity would be greatly enhanced by reading The Kite Runner which will build on and improve their historical, cultural, and literary skills. The desire to help those in need and to care about global issues as well as our fellow man are cornerstones of colleges.
