Ms. J. from NC is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

For Everywhere the Imagination Cannot Take You--Read!

My students need one or two copies of 12 high interest books on sports and teen living, such as "The Triple Chocolate Brownie Genius" by Deborah Sherman.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

I teach math in the Freshman Academy in our high school. Many of our students are economically disadvantaged and lack the experiences that foster creativity and imagination.

Our leadership team is addressing this issue by blocking daily time for "silent sustained reading" for students and staff. One of our greatest challenges in implementing this important goal is limited resources.

The resources needed are simple--books that interest teenagers. Our students will greatly benefit from reading books that capture their interest and inspire them to read more.

The cost of these books is just a small price to pay for the learning that will occur for my students. The average cost of a teen book is $8; however, the average cost of enhanced reading skills is priceless!
