Help me give my students Help my students enagae in a classic timeless novel. We need a class set of novels to accomodate the number of students who don't have a text. Your donation would be extremly helpful
We're seeking support to purchase copies of The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton for our students. This classic novel is more than just a story—it’s a powerful tool for teaching empathy, identity, and the importance of understanding different perspectives. The themes of belonging, friendship, and resilience resonate deeply with young readers, especially those navigating challenges in and out of school.
With access to their own copies, students can annotate, reflect, and engage more meaningfully with the text—fostering not just literacy skills but personal growth.
Your donation would directly support students in making lasting connections with literature and with each other.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
