My Students
Sharon Draper said in an interview: "I wrote for my students, for the kids I knew who didn't like to read, who weren't inspired by books or literature." These are some of the students in our school that I want to reach with good literature.
Our students attend a middle school in a high poverty area in Indiana.
I want them to be able to read books based in an urban setting with characters to which they can relate. That is why I am requesting these Sharon Draper books for our media center.
My Project
Literacy is a high priority in our school and we focus on students being able to read and meet literacy standards. These books written by Sharon Draper will interest some of the students who struggle with their reading skills. I want them to have the best books that also appeal to their interests.
My hope by providing these eight award winning titles that students will be encouraged to read and improve their literacy skills.
Your donations will provide the necessary materials to help meet the needs of our disadvantaged students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
