Mr. Richard from Bel Aire KS is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Readers Today, Readers Tomorrow

Help me give my students a variety of reading experiences. With these books, students can delve into worlds of fantasy, learn from the personal histories of soldiers and scientists, and improve their reading ability.

My Students

My students are determined and highly intelligent. They want to make the world a better place and start every day with our school. Our high school works diligently to cultivate a culture of high academic achievement and support. As a law, science, and arts magnet, our students come from various backgrounds and cultures. Despite their differences, they work together and genuinely care about one another. They make our school a wonderful place to be.

My Project

As an English teacher, I know the importance of helping students find "the book." That book might change ther mind, change them, or change their life. With this collection of books, I can offer my students more opportunities to find the book that transforms them from reluctant readers into ravenous readers. I work with high school students (9th-12th grade) who may not read a single book in their high school career. As someone who loves and teaches the written word, this is something I want to combat with every fiber of my being. Help my students become lifelong readers.

Grades 9-12
