  • Boys Will Be Boys: And They Need Books Just For Them!!

    Funded Dec 22, 2007

    I cannot tell you how much this means to my students, their education, and me. Thank you for remembering others this holiday season. Many of my students do not have steady families, or big celebrations, so know that this gift to them will be very, very appreciated. Many students have told me that the first time they have finished a book was in my class. Now they will have the opportunity to read books they love, made possible by you. Your gift will help them and their education more than you know. Thank you for your generosity and for caring. You truly embody the holiday spirit, and I really admire you.

    Thank you,

    Ms. M and student”

  • Love Their Library!!

    Funded Nov 9, 2007

    Thank you so much for helping our classroom! I cannot tell you how grateful both my students and I are. Your gift is coming at the perfect time: I just started a new book with my students (The Underdogs). They are really tired of digging through boxes to get their book. You will help us get organized and excited about picking out a book. Thank you for your generosity – and know that it is greatly appreciated”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. McAvoy

My students entered the 10th grade with an average of A SEVENTH GRADE reading level. Over the past year, they have raised their reading levels an average of TWO years each. They are living proof that students will achieve when given the tools to do so. While they are now experts at reading fiction, they are still craving nonfiction that will give them a balanced world view.
