"I teach 60 French 3 Regents students in a high needs inner city school. Our urban school is committed to preparing our students for college.

Over the years, our Regents classes have worn out the few old copies of Barrons that our school has. They are desperate for a full class set of new copies for group work and individual practice.

My students are college-bound, but to receive a Regents diploma they need to successfully complete the NYS French Regents Exam. The Regents diploma makes them eligible for college scholarships that they desperately need. These books will help my students be well prepared for this end-of-ear exam.

You will help ensure my students excel in French and open doors of opportunity for them.

My students need 34 copies of Barron's Regents Exams. The cost of this proposal is $343, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ."

Dear Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Brothers Fund,

I cannot begin to thank you enough for your wonderful gift! When my students helped open the box of brand new Barron's Regents Exams for French, they were overwhelmed. To be successful at any task, the right tools are needed. You have given my students the right tools! It's thrilling to see students so excited about books.

The Barrons books have brought even more excitement to our classroom. As students take the practice tests and review all they have learned, they are gaining confidence in their ability to succeed--on the test and on whatever they try to do!

My students have big dreams. Thank you for helping their dreams become a reality, and thank you for believing in them. Merci mile foes! (Thank you a thousand times!)

With gratitude,
Mrs. K.

Mrs. K. sent this note after the project was fully funded:

Dear Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Brothers Fund,

I cannot begin to express my appreciation for your generous donation to my project. Without your help, my students would not have access to these amazing tools.

The Barron's Regents books will help my students be prepared for this important exam. Students take the Regents exam after three years of study. They must pass the French Regents to receive a NYS Regents diploma. But my students want to do more than just pass the exam. They want to excel on the exam. They want the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the French language and their cultural appreciation of the many different people groups around the world that speak French.

These books will be used and appreciated by students for many years to come. Thank you so much. I can't wait to use these books in the classroom.

With gratitude,
Mrs. K.
