My Project

I am seeking donations to order a class set of books for our 8th grade students that explore the themes of censorship and the utilizing the power of student voices. Through reading and discussing this book, my students will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of free speech and the consequences of restricting it.

Your contributions will help us provide these valuable learning tools to our students and inspire thoughtful discussions in our classrooms.

Any donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support.
