We have a wonderful group of students who have come to Manchester from all over the world. We are an inner city school with a diverse group of students speaking 60 different languages.
We have students who are polite, respectful, talented, and eager to learn.
They are creative, friendly and helpful. First period, each weekday morning, we teach them things like values, kindness, and compassion. They create Veteran's cards, Smiles for a Children's Hospital, and bring in food to make 70+ Thanksgiving baskets.
We have great diversity of cultures here at our school. Everyone works together, helps each other, and fosters an attitude of caring and sharing, and learning.
My Project
Our students use a -0- funded Library. Our city does not fund any of the Public School Libraries. When other students lose books, there are no replacements. Many times we have only a few books in a series.
It would be great to have a fresh new assortment of titles for students to choose from.
There are lots of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade book reports to be done, so some new titles would be a wonderful addition to our Library Media Center.
New books are exciting. They open up a new world of reading. New books encourage reading for a day, for a week, for a lifetime.
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Ms. Ohanian and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
