During the students' last years of elementary, I've noticed many students feeling nervous about going to a middle school and what that will look like for them. They have been asking questions about what to expect in middle school in terms of academic work, but mostly about friendship, boys, and drama. By donating to my project, I will be able to help many students feel more prepared to face the many new adventures that life will throw their way during their middle school days. By receiving these books, I will be able to create a book club where students will feel safe to express how they feel and to admit their mistakes and learn from them. Students will be able to practice and share thoughts from all the books' advice with the friends they share with during the book club. By donating to my project, you are truly donating an unforgettable learning experience for many students at my school who for years to come will be thankful for such experiences. Thank you for your kind donations!
