You Are Worthy of Greatness!

Help me give my students reality. Sometimes our students need to see there is light at the end of the tunnel. Their struggles are real, but if there is a will there is a way out.

My Project

A few years back, I began a lesson with the book title, A Child Called It. It is a heartfelt book that touched my students emotionally. I have not had one student tell me they weren't inspired by this book. The problem is I do not have enough copies for all my students.

I would appreciate the help to get this book in the hands of all my seniors.

With your help, I can continue this lesson for years to come and be sure each student has their own copy and can experience a true story that will change their perspective on life forever.
