Journalism Textbooks for New Course
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Costello's classroom raised $1,109
This project is fully funded
My Project
After much planning and school board approval, I was able to get permission to run a Journalism class for the 2025-2026 school year (and hopefully beyond). My school is currently at a major budget deficit and is currently in a spending freeze.
I want to be able to provide my students with a proper textbook to help them as we navigate this course in order to help make them into mini journalists.
If we can secure these textbooks for the upcoming year that will help ensure that my students have the best possible chance at growing the skills needed to be a journalist.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
