Your support has made a noticeable difference—students are more engaged in reading and class discussions than ever before. Many of our students, including those who are typically reluctant to participate, have been drawn into the story because of its exciting connection to Greek mythology. For students who already had a foundation in these myths, it's been a chance to see familiar stories in a new light. For others, it's opened up a fascinating world of legends and heroes, sparking curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nYour gift has also allowed us to explore the Hero's Journey in depth. Students are excited to apply this framework to Percy Jackson's adventures, making connections between literature, history, and their own experiences. This level of engagement has led to richer conversations, stronger reading skills, and a greater sense of community in our classroom. We are so grateful for your support and hopeful that, with continued backing, we can keep inspiring our students to love reading and learning.
