  • One Elevator Ride, Sixty Seconds to Decide Your Fate

    Funded Dec 5, 2021

    Thank you so much for supporting our project. We can not wait for our students to read "Long Way Down." We hope to see them connect to the poetry novel in a new and creative way. Now they need to decide if Will should get revenge or not when he hits the bottom floor.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonough

  • Lies Versus Truth

    Funded Aug 10, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating to our Lies VS Truth project. The students are really enjoying reading the book and have been making some great predictions/connections and have had some wonderful and sometimes heated class discussions. They have put on their investigative hats and are trying to solve the mystery of who killed Simone chapter by chapter. Each twist and turn has made them reflect on their thinking and re-evaluate their initial impressions of each character. It has been great seeing the students come alive toward reading in such a dynamic way.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonough

  • Your Voice Can Equal Change: The Hate You Give

    Funded Jul 28, 2020

    This year has been a year of change, we started in person then went remote within a month and all of my students have adapted pretty well to this, though we have had our challenges we are all working hard to learn remotely. Not only has this year been a year of first this has also been a year of societal changes. We have had a lot of racial issues as well as political issues happen within our country. My students have not been unfazed by this. We talk nearly daily about the current events in America and how they are effecting us. Though we have not started our unit using The Hate You Give, we have spoken about it several times and about racial tensions in our country. We have been reading articles about current events both in America and the world and making connections to our home town. As we move on to our unit using The Hate You Give, I hope to continue to have these discussions and help my student navigate the society we live in. Your donation to my book drive has helped me be able to supply each student in my class with a copy of this book so that instead of reading it on the computer we can read it together while holding it, and for me this has a greater impact and I hope it does the same for my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonough

The student's will use the Chromebooks to complete assignments in class while getting support from a teacher, making them more likely to complete the assignment and turn it in while they have access to the resources they need. As we have become a society driven by technology, some of my students are being left behind as they do not have access to the very thing they need to succeed. On a daily basis, I hear from my students that they are unable to complete the assignments that they are given due to lack of access to technology, or that they are unable to repair the technology they currently own and need to complete the assignments. The very thing they need is the very thing they lack, due to their socio-economic status.
