My Project

When I was in 5th grade, I read the book My Side of the Mountain, and it remained a favorite from then on. I would love to introduce this classic novel of survival and resilience to a new generation of students.

Our school library doesn’t have enough copies of this book, so I thought I would try to find a way to purchase a set so my entire class may experience the excitement this book has to offer!

The majority of my students are of low socioeconomic status, and I didn’t want to ask parents to buy something they might not be able to afford.

Please help me make this a reality for my students this year if you can. Thank you!

Ms. Fassler White Pine Elementary School Grades 3-5
