  • Overcoming Obstacles

    Funded Jan 14, 2009

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. My students can never have enough role models, and you have given them the opportunity to read about some role models they may not know about. My students have been reading voraciously for the past few months and they will be thrilled to hear that more books are coming. I cannot express to you the impact that your donation will make on my classroom. You are truly making a difference in the lives of high schoolers”

  • Reading at the Movies

    Funded Dec 16, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students are eating up my library so quickly that I fear I will run out of books that they have not read. Your donation will go a long way towards keeping my students interested in independent reading. So many people complain about how teenagers don't read enough, but it simply isn't true. Every student can love to read if they find the right book. Your donation helps more than you can believe with helping my students "find the right book." Your generosity is truly appreciated”

    Funded Jan 8, 2008

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Your generosity is truly appreciated. My students are going to be thrilled about their new book choices...and about the fact that they will now be able to participate in literature circles with students reading the same book that they are. As adults, we have the opportunity to participate in book clubs when we want to - I want to show my students the value and reward of this activity. Your kindness and thoughtfulness amazes me.

  • Guys Read: Uncovering Issues Through Literature

    Funded Dec 5, 2007

    I cannot properly express my gratitude for this generous donation. You are truly making a difference in public schools across the U.S. The boys in my classes are often more reluctant to read, and I believe it's because many of the books we have are geared towards girls. This new collection will help them improve their reading and critical thinking skills while helping them develop discussion strategies. Thank you, thank you, thank you”

  • Reshelve Me, Please!

    Funded Jun 29, 2007

    I cannot possibly express the amount of thanks that you deserve. My students and I truly appreciate your generous donation. These bookshelves will not only help keep their learning space organized, but will help them learn to organize. Because this is a skill so many of my students lack, your donation will contribute to giving them a skill they will use for life. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are truly making a difference in American schools”

I teach amazing 9th graders at a charter school in Colorado. Like most charter schools, our school has a tiny textbook budget that doesn't have much room for supplementary materials. My students are eager to learn and love reading books together and discussing them.
