Ms. Marx's classroom raised $240

We Can't Get Enough Books!

My students need free reading books and a high-quality historical fiction text with non-fiction background books to support their understanding of the world around them.

My Students

Thanks to DonorsChoose, my students have been devouring books! I can't give them high-quality books fast enough!

I work with low income, urban students that have entered a lottery system to attend our school.

100% of our students have been accepted to a 2 or 4-year college since 1999. We expect nothing but the best from our students and they work very hard to create the future they want.

My Project

I am asking for free-reading books that my students can engage and make a connection with. I am also asking for a class text with background books so students can learn more about Birmingham - this ties directly to their history courses. As a result, students will have more background knowledge and be more prepared for their subject matter courses.

My students are beginning to love to read as much as I do.

I want to continue to foster their desire to read and interest in books. More books will help us to do so and help build stronger reading skills.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
