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. Our library is a hub of activity and the students love coming here. I want to buy college and career books, as well as fiction books that will help out students thrive in their futures.
My Project
Our students need resources that will help them prepare for their future, whether it be SAT preparatory and practice materials or books on career information. I am requesting a mix of fiction and nonfiction books to help get them excited about the new school year, as well as aiding in achieving my goal of creating lifelong readers and learners.
Providing our students with cutting edge career information resources, college, scholarship, and financial information resources, SAT and AP test practice materials, and new fiction books will better meet their current and future needs, thus helping them succeed in life.
Having test preparatory materials, as well as career and college readiness information on hand will help them research more effectively and get a jump on their future.
