My Project

I teach several high school English classes, and we need your help! More than 50% of my students are from lower income families and come from diverse backgrounds. I also have many students who are English Language Learners. Some of my students are either in group homes or have been in and out of foster homes much of their lives, and many others live below the poverty line.

I feel strongly that high school students should be provided a variety of interesting literature options to read while in school, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

I would love to be able to provide unique and fun group sets of books to be read together in class or in small groups. My students may not have the opportunity to read the variety of literature I would like to provide for them without generous help from donors like you.

Thank you!

Mrs. Tarnutzer
Grades 9-12
