Mr. M.'s classroom raised $353

Hearts for Tolerance.

My students need 30 copies of the book "Night".

Night, a time of darkness, but in my class it is a time of awareness. My students will read this powerful novel and be transformed. The eighth grade charter school students that I have taught for this academic year were so enthralled with the book that when we actually took the trip to the Museum of Tolerance even the most boisterous and troublesome kids were jumbled and awed. By bringing the facts of the Holocaust to my middle school students I hope to transform them into people/adults with a "Heart for Tolerance". My goal is to get a class set of 30 novels so that even if the parent of the student is unable to provide or buy a copy it will not hinder my group from getting an invaluable lesson on a historical time that changed the world forever.

I learned this year that merely asking a parent to buy a textbook/novel is not enough. In many cases it is not possible. Therefore, I am attempting to solve the problem altogether. The novel is loved by the students and their "Tolerance Portfolios" are examples of how much they have learned and have changed.

By providing the necessary novel for the students and having it in the class, there will NEVER be an excuse as to the individual "forgetting" the book in the locker, at home, or even losing it.

Your help will ensure that my students are adequately prepared for their lessons daily and will assist in transforming their range of thinking about others, themselves and give them a "Heart for Tolerance."
