My Students
Our students attend a rural public high school, which serves about 650 students. We are located in an area where the socioeconomic status of many residents is low. Many students have parents who are out of work. Our school relies heavily on state funding and this year, we are struggling once again due to the state not coming through with that funding. Programs and teachers are being cut and our students are feeling the brunt. Our students are creative and kind and they strive to reach their goals no matter what obstacles they face. They continue to achieve successfully despite more challenges and fewer resources. They forge ahead without complaints. Although funds are low, our students' passion for books hasn't dulled one bit. Please help keep this thirst for literature alive by supporting our school.
My Project
Strong literacy skills help students excel in every aspect of their personal and professional lives. Providing fresh fiction and nonfiction books in our library will help spark students' interest in reading, thus encouraging them to become strong, lifelong readers.
Our educators work harder every year to strengthen our sustained silent reading program and encouraging students to read in their free time.
The more resources we have in our library, the more likely the kids will be to embrace this program and not only find something that meets their reading needs, but also helps them embrace being a reader for life.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
