My Students

We are a new middle school in GA and we are Hungry for books! We need class sets of books for our 7th graders. The Hunger Games is a GA Book Award Nominee book this year and we would like every 7th grader to read it. This book will help gain the excitement and enjoyment of reading for many students!

We have 625 middle school students.

We need books for our 7th graders to read as a class. We have books for 6th graders and one set for 8th grade. We really need more books for our 7th graders to read. This book is a GA book Award nominee and very popular. We can inspire many students to enjoy reading with this class set.

My Project

Every 7th grader in our school will get the opportunity to read an award nominated book. This books is also great read for reluctant readers. It is a popular science fiction novel that has a motion picture release coming out next year. We want to create excitement about reading at our school. Please help us!

We really need books to read in our classrooms that students will enjoy reading.

We need to share literature with our students and let them get the experience of each having a copy of the book in their hands to read along with the teacher. This is important to our 7th grade students and teachers.
