My Project

We're reaching out to generous donors like you to help us provide an enriching three-week summer program for our students. Your donation will allow us to purchase the materials needed to ignite a passion for reading and instill values of responsibility and accountability.

Week 1: Gothic Literature Exploration

With your support, students will immerse themselves in the world of Gothic literature. Your donation will enable us to provide them with the books and resources necessary to delve into classic tales of horror and suspense, fostering critical thinking skills and appreciation for storytelling.

Week 2: Poetry and Identity

Through your generosity, students will explore the power of poetry as a tool for self-expression and understanding identity. Your donation will fund the purchase of diverse poetry collections, allowing students to engage with different voices and perspectives while developing their own creative writing skills.

Week 3: Graphic Novel Adventures

Your contribution will help us introduce students to the art of graphic novels. With the materials you provide, they will learn to appreciate the unique blend of words and images that bring stories to life. Your donation will fund the purchase of graphic novels and art supplies for hands-on projects, empowering students to unleash their creativity.

Greenhouse Project

In addition to literary exploration, your support will enable us to continue our school's greenhouse project. Your donation will cover the cost of plants, gardening tools, and supplies, allowing students to learn about environmental stewardship and sustainability through hands-on activities. Your contributions to our Greenhouse project will also serve as a symbol for our continued growth as readers.

Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, providing them with opportunities for learning, growth, and personal development. Thank you for considering supporting our summer camp!
