Book Club for Girls Needs Your Support
Funded Dec 22, 2008
Thanks to your generous contribution, the grant request "Book Club for Girls Needs Your Support" has been fully funded. I cannot thank you enough for your support! The success of Book Club for Girls greatly depends upon book set donations, and I am certain the club members will be thrilled when three sets of fabulous books arrive at our classroom door. Through your donation of books, the girls will learn about the Chinese practice of foot binding, examine and question the role "beauty" plays in society, and enter the world of Salamanca, a vivacious 13-year-old who sets off on a cross-country road trip with her loving grandparents. These thought-provoking novels will surely generate intriguing discussions at our weekly meetings.
Thank you so very much for your generosity. I can't wait to get back to school to tell the girls our AWESOME news.
Warmly,
Jenn”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Morales

As a new teacher at a junior high last year, I enthusiastically developed an after-school Book Club for Girls. This new extracurricular activity was a smashing success, particularly with bilingual and socially-challenged girls who may not have otherwise joined an after-school club. A group of approximately fifteen girls met weekly to discuss book and life related issues of friendship, diversity, peer pressure and determination. This group of girls, representing a plethora of races, languages, religions and ages, put aside their differences as they bonded over great literature.
