That Time When a Class Loved a Story
Funded Jan 6, 2022
Thank you so much for the generous donations to my classroom! The 50 copies of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian will have an immense impact on our students. Not only does it provide physical copies to read in the classroom for my five ninth grade classes, it provides enough copies for the other ninth grade teachers to use them as well. As this novel will become a core story that all ninth grade students read, it will impact all ninth-grade students for years to come.
Thank you again for all the generous donations. Our happiness to finally have physical books is forever thankful for you!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Lewis

Students love books. Physical books. They love opening them, smelling them, reading them and sharing them. At our high school, our ninth graders learn what creates one's identity through the novel "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. Our students are missing out on that enjoyment though. Without physical copies of the text, our students read from PDFs assigned through google classroom, and they miss out on the ability to fall in love with the physical copy of the story. By funding this project, it will provide ninth grade students at our high school with books to read during class. They can enjoy that feeling of opening a book for the first time, flipping through the pages and enjoying what they read.
