My Students

We are a new high school in New Orleans East. Our second class of students will graduate in 2021, but today we build the foundation of our school. We have 170 ninth graders who desperately need access to books on various reading levels. They need a library and we need your help to build it.

Your donations to this project will help build the foundation of our school's library.

We seek to empower all students to graduate from college and lead the world. With the dedication and support of our staff, students, and community, we will exceed expectations that will give our students increased opportunities. With your donations to this projects our students will become voracious and impassioned readers.

My Project

Help put great books in the hands of 170 high school students in our founding class in New Orleans East. Every day my students will devour these books and become voracious readers. The Wolves are on a mission to graduate from college and lead the world- these books will put them on the path to achieving that goal.

In order to achieve this goal we need a library of books on various reading levels for students to choose from.

We are building our independent reading library and need books for our students to access each day. Your donation to this project will provide them with the books they desperately need to achieve their goal. In order to build a love of reading for enjoyment and pleasure my students need a variety of books to be able to choose from. This project will put great books in the hands of high school freshmen who need them.
