Hello out there-- Chicago teacher here! Did you know that you can make a huge difference in the lives of my amazing students? Please consider donating to help supply them with books and supplies that they so greatly need. They are appreciative of even the smallest donation, so please help them out. Remember "great acts are made of small deeds". If that doesn't get you donating just remember that my students are learning the value of 'helping thy fellow man' through this experience and they promise to 'pay it forward'. Many of my eighth graders are burdened with responsibilities and worries that are far greater than any teen should have. They rely on the classroom for its safety and acceptance and count on me to show them a different way of life. They want to read new books, but our budget is small. Please show them that people do care--but more importantly that people want them to succeed. Keep them reading!Thank you
