My Students

I have an amazing group of students this year who love to read! Many of them have shared their favorite authors with me and have begged me to start a classroom library.

I have been teaching at a public high school in Central New York for many years.

This district is rich with diversity. About 60% of the students here are classified as minorities, and approximately 10% of the students speak a language other than English at home. Unfortunately, the poverty level here is high; in fact, approximately 61% of students in the district receive free or reduced lunches. Although the poverty level is high, many of the seniors are planning to attend two and four-year colleges this fall.

My Project

These incredible students I have the honor of teaching love literature. Many of them, boys and girls, bring outside-of-class reading with them. Today I actually had to ask a student to put his book away until the class was finished taking notes. I want to be able to supply these students with books by their favorite authors. I also want to introduce them to some new ones. That is why I am requesting 38 books, many of which are on the bestseller list for teenagers. Some of the titles include "Identical" and "Impulse" by Ellen Hopkins, "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak,"Peak" by Roland Smith, and "Hoops" by Walter Dean Myers.

Your donation will allow my students the opportunity to read their favorite authors and introduce those authors to their friends.

You will put books directly into the classroom, which will allow students easy access to modern, relevant literature that will engage them and motivate them to read.
