Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

Funded Sep 5, 2023

Wow! Words cannot express how much your donation has meant to my students and myself. Thank you for taking the time to invest in my student's education! With your help, my students have had an opportunity to explore the various worlds laid within the pages of these books! In Georgia, 7th graders learn about the continents of Africa and Asia in their social studies classes. Paird with classroom resources, my students have been able to explore and preview various aspects of African and Asian culture that are not explicitly mentioned in the pages of their textbooks.

Many of the books you have provided for my students, have helped to bring to life the topics we have already covered and will cover through content in the classroom and make experiences relatable as many characters are around their ages. Among the books donated, many students have read and re-read "When Stars Are Scattered", "The Red Pencil", and "A Long Walk to Water". Now as we cover real world content, there are books/characters we have referred back to make connections to the content. My students are grateful for your investment in their careers as lifelong learners.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Penton
