My Project

I am reaching out to request funding support for a classroom set subscription to The New York Times Upfront Magazine for my students. Upfront Magazine is specifically designed to engage high school students with thought-provoking articles aimed at developing critical thinking skills.

In today's fast-paced and information-rich society, it's more important than ever to equip our students with the ability to think critically and analyze the information they encounter.

Upfront Magazine provides an invaluable resource for achieving this goal. Its articles are carefully curated to encourage students to think for themselves, identify biases in writing, and develop their own informed perspectives.

By providing my students with access to Upfront Magazine, I aim to not only enhance their reading comprehension skills but also foster a deeper understanding of the world around them.

I strongly believe that investing in a classroom set subscription to The New York Times Upfront Magazine will have a profound and lasting impact on my students' educational journey. Your support in providing this resource would be greatly appreciated and would contribute significantly to the academic growth and development of my students.
