Funded Nov 28, 2023I cannot begin to tell you how thankful my students and I are to you for your generosity. In recent years we have begun, as educators and society in general, to accept the concept of kids reading something written by authors who are not dead, rich, white guys. With your donations, I have been able to help my 25 students with a variety of materials including books, fidgets and snacks to help get them through their day.
Ultimately, putting these books in the hands of kids who don't naturally love reading or are not used to seeing characters like themselves in books, helps to cultivate a "like" reading which we only hope turns into love and appreciation of books. Because of donors like you, we, as a community, can edge closer to closing the gap for all reluctant readers.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Bouzakine
