Funded Aug 23, 2018Thank you all for taking part in making this project a reality! I cannot begin to describe the impact that this project has had on my classroom. The books have arrived and my students began reading "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker immediately.
Students are analyzing Celie's motivations, actions, and intentions. I can already see the difference this text is making in the level of engagement in my classroom. This has led to deep conversations about race, class, and gender, and we have even made connections beyond to classroom to the #metoo movement.
I am deeply grateful to each one of you for donating to this project. My students are benefiting in many ways thanks to your generosity. You have made a HUGE impact in the lives of my students, and those to come in many years ahead, and I cannot thank you enough.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Fay
