Mr. Holleman Leland Middle School
Leland, NC Grades 6-8

I teach students from the 6th, 7th and 8th grade in a middle school in a rural school district. I teach students who have not been successful in the past. My class focuses on using two computer programs that allow students to work at their own pace to learn or reinforce needed skills.

Most students are motivated to succeed through their grades. The students that I teach need more tangible rewards to encourage them.

The donation of these popular books would encourage my students to succeed. My students would earn these books as prizes for their efforts and success. They would not only be rewarded, but their reward would come in the form of a book to read that would again encourage and reinforce their academic skills.

Your donation would allow my students to have a goal to work towards and a tangible reward. You can be the motivation my students need!
