My Students

Our public middle school consists of a diverse group of students of different backgrounds, abilities, and talents. Each student is in one of the following talent groups: dance, vocal music, band, visual art, photography, or drama. The arts are integral to our school.

We are a community of readers, thinkers, writers, and activists.

My students routinely read, write about, and discuss current social issues, explore their identities, and immerse themselves in a wide range of literature.

Every day, my students inspire me with their energy and creativity.

My Project

My 8th grade English Language Arts students will be working in groups to read, investigate, and discuss controversial issues in certain young adult books. These books reflect commonly challenged and banned books throughout the nation. They were selected to be inclusive of various reading levels and cultures.

Your donations will provide students with tangible tools to help them think critically and work cooperatively to understand diverging perspectives on the issues in these books.

With these books, they will use just their intellects and their voices to confront and have dynamic discourse on important social issues.
