Wiley Magnet is a Title I middle school working with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Our student needs vary and we house special populations, including ELL (English Language Learners), DHH (Deaf and Hard of Hearing), and VI (Visually Impaired) students. We were previously a PBIS school (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) as well; currently we have maintained principles of PBIS to meet our student needs, including a school store that is used as an incentive and reinforcement for kids to show their PAWSitive behavior (P: be prepared, A: A+ attitude, W: work responsibly, S: show respect).
Our school wants to add literature options to our school store that are high interest, middle school appropriate, and engaging.
Our students need texts at varying levels given their academic needs and interests. We have students who read at the primary level up to high school level.
My Project
Wiley Magnet wants to encourage student growth both inside and outside the classroom. Adding high interest, age appropriate texts to our school store for student purchase will showcase the importance of reading and encourage student exploration of novels based on their own preferences. Including a wide variety of texts will allow our diverse students to see themselves in literature and in the world around them. Providing the opportunity for them to leave the school with a purchased book in hand will encourage student growth in so many ways. Please help us support our students and their learning. Thank you for any donation that you can give to this cause.
