A Book in the Hand is Worth it to Own

Funded Sep 20, 2024

There was real glee, true and actual delight on the students faces when I gave them the books. That has never happened for some. Most don't have books at home, and they were not read to as children. I'm hoping that if they model reading behavior it will also inspire their brothers and sisters. Thank you again, on behalf of the students and from the bottom of my heart.

This is an Honors English class, some with incredible potential, so we practice aspirational reading and exposure to the largest variety of genres and styles possible. Some of the students are GATE (gifted & talented), and those especially leapt to the challenge of a deep-dive into Vonnegut.

Without your contribution, this would not have been possible. Please continue, your philanthropy is going to genuinely good causes here. Happy holidays and bless you all.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Saunders
