    Thank you very much for your generous support. Our student will be able to read, and learn so many coping skills through reading this novel. As a special surprise, the students will be able to keep these novels after we read them in school and add them to their collection of books at their home.”

  • You're Just Write

    Funded Aug 1, 2019

    Our students were greatly impacted by your donation. Having the basic necessities is taken for granted. Most students start their school day without even a pen or pencil. By providing students with the tools they need to be successful.... Success is inevitable.

    Your donation is immensely appreciated by so many young children. Your impact is greater than you can ever imagine and widely appreciated. Children can set up their day for a positive outcome by beginning it with the tools they need.

    Thank you”

  • Explicitly Successful

    Funded Apr 24, 2019

    I would once again like to extend my sincere gratitude for your generosity. My students have already began benefitting from your donation. The tools that you've helped to provide will not only assistance for my current students, but for countless students in the future as well.

    Explicitly Successful provides students with individualized support and instruction.

    Students are met at their need, and these tools help to outline, explain and assess students during their small group activities. Meeting students where they're at, and providing specific instruction has been proven to be most successful.”

  • A Copy for Everyone

    Funded Apr 26, 2018

    Thank you for your generous contribution for our novels. My students were so excited to find out that they were able to keep the novels. They were able to highlight and annotate as we were reading, which really helped with their comprehension .

    My students were able to utilize the novels, and also keep them. Hopefully your contribution will help contribute to a love of learning for my students, as they will be able to look back on these classic novels whenever they choose.

    We sincerely appreciate your generous contribution.”

  • The Outsiders: My Own Copy

    Funded Nov 28, 2017

    Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your contribution to funding my project. My students absolutely loved reading the novel "Of Mice and Men". They were so excited when I told them about your contribution and that they would be able to keep the novel as part of their home libraries. Your donation made such a difference in these children's lives. Some of my students told me that they planned on reading the novel once again during summer break, because they enjoyed reading it so much.”

My students are excited to start reading 'The Outsiders'. While taking notes and group discussions are effective, I feel that real time highlighting and annotation is best fit for my students' learning styles. My students are literal and visual learners that will greatly benefit by having their own copy to utilize in class, and take home to study and review at night. Both my students and I appreciate your generous donation, and will utilize our novels daily. The Outsiders is a classic novel that every student should read, and having a genuine learning experience will enable my students to take these lessons throughout their lifetime.
