Mr. Kringe from Philadelphia PA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Advanced Placement United States Government Reports

My students need 31 books about the United States government.

  • $715 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach an Advanced Placement United States Government class in a low income area in Pennsylvania, who are craving to learn more!

My students do not have large personal libraries at home, and the school's library is lacking. With these books, the students will be able to expand their knowledge of the US government. These books will go to use as books for students to write book reports and classroom readings.

With these resources, the students will benefit several ways; write better, have more knowledge for college, and maybe pass the AP test. The knowledge these books will give will stay with them into college.

You will make it possible for my students to better understand US government, and how the government runs. This knowledge is very important in today society.
