Publish or Perish

Help me give my students the supplies needed to create and publish their writing.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Thompson's classroom raised $354

My Project

Students at my school can publish their work in our school newspaper, The Bulldog Bark, or our creative writing magazine, Pawprints. Both of these are published digitally and on paper.

Most publishing these days is digital, but I want to show my students that good old paper publishing can still be an exciting way to show off their work.

Expressing oneself through writing is very important to me and my students.

Your donation can help me provide tools to help publish my students' work. We need these tools to draft, edit, revise, and craft our writing.
