  • Reading: A Love Story

    Funded Nov 11, 2021

    Thank you so much for jump starting our library. Our reading diagnostic have shown tremendous improvements in the students reading abilities thus far and I truly believe it is because of the books that are now in our library. The kids have become voracious readers and I will be purchasing any books that they are dying to read. Thank you for your donation.

    The difference you have made in the lives of my students cannot be measured. From the moment the kids saw the books arrive in the classroom it has been a constant running to the library for a new book once they had finished the book they were reading.

    Students from other classrooms have also come into our library to borrow books! The love for reading exist and you all have helped foster that love! Thank you so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Cruz

The materials listed will help every single student, every single day. I am a first-year teacher with no resources to give these students. You will be helping them by allowing them to have the daily necessities like pens, paper, highlighters, pencil sharpeners, post-its. This school year is crucial for these students. They are in their final year of middle school and they will begin applying for high schools and begin looking at colleges. Every student can achieve and learn. Every student deserves to not have to worry about the bare necessities not being met. You are helping us build a solid foundation for what will be an amazing school year.
