Readers Gotta Read!
Funded Dec 9, 2024Thank you so much for your help getting our students copies of Maus! We've finished our unit and they've written wonderful book reviews for Maus. This year was the first year that BTW High School has entered the NPL Book Review Contest and we (and the librarians!) are excited to see how that goes.
This novel was also an excellent introduction to Holocaust history, and the kids truly learned so much through it. We had many difficult but wonderful conversations and several students have decided to further research the topic on their own and feel called now to educate others on this important moment in history.
Without you, none of this would be possible. Your generosity is felt by all of us and truly does make a difference.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Harris
Food for Fueling My Feisty Kids!
Funded Dec 21, 2023Thank you again for your support! My students have been so grateful for your kindness.
At my school, many students struggle with food insecurity. Frankly, not every student knows where they will get their next meal. So, while snacks available may seem like something small or just a treat, it actually makes a big impact on the students who need it most! They are able to get what they need at any time, no questions asked, no shame. Having snacks available helps them focus, learn, and succeed, as well as gives them a bit of extra joy in their day.
But, even more than that, being able to help provide necessities for my students has helped us build a stronger classroom community where they know they are cared for and respected. Thank you for working with me to support and create a safe space for all of my kiddos!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Harris
