Funded Dec 7, 2011Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My students were very excited to know that we had received our books and are eager to continue the journey into the post-apocalyptic world of Katniss and Peeta. My students and I are very grateful that there are people like you who care about their education and their future. It is because of people like you that these students have every available opportunity to have a chance to succeed.
I am grateful because reading is such an intricate part of life. It is books that allowed me to escape, my many times harsh, reality and allowed me to get lost in imaginary worlds and adventures. And now, thanks to your generous contributions, my kids have the same opportunities. It isn't always that books inspire kids nowadays, but these books have. And you've made it possible for them to have them.
My students have definitely caught fire and are eager to read. I will take full advantage of this and keep the fire and hunger burning in them to want to read. The seed has been planted, you guys have provided the water, now we sit back and watch their brains bloom.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Rodriguez
