The Kids Need a Coming-of-Age-Story Through 80's Music!
Funded Apr 27, 2023I cannot express how thankful I am for your generosity. My students are going to be so excited to read this story! “Red, White and Whole” is the kind of story that will make them laugh, cry and leave them speechless. I cannot wait to hear what they think of the story and tell you all about it. Thank you again for helping me give this opportunity to my students.”
With gratitude,

Let's Amplify the Voices That Have Been Silenced!
Funded Jun 22, 2020Thank you so much for helping me add "Ghost Boys" by Jewell Parker Rhodes to our novel studies.
My students have had the opportunity to discuss race, racism, and change in our society in a productive way. Many students have stated that the novel is their favorite book and have started to read other stories by Rhodes.
Additionally, my students have stated that when they read Jerome's story, they felt seen and heard. In my experience as a teacher, for the first time, I listened to my students ask, "Just one more chapter." That is all you could ask for as a teacher.
I am so grateful that you helped us have this opportunity and experience. On behalf of myself and now 360 students, we cannot thank you enough for changing our lives.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Lawrence
