At our Title I school, where nearly 90% of families fall within the federal poverty guidelines, resources are often limited and parents are not always able to contribute financially to classroom needs.

Because of you, they will have access to meaningful learning opportunities that will truly enrich their education.\r\n\r\nWith your support, our classroom will now have subscriptions to Time for Kids, a resource that sparks curiosity, builds nonfiction literacy skills, and inspires students to think critically about the world around them. I have seen firsthand how much joy and enthusiasm students feel when these magazines arrive, they cannot wait to open the box, flip through the articles, and begin discussing, debating, and writing about the issues that matter to them. Thanks to you, they will be able to engage in these powerful conversations week after week.\r\n\r\nYour contribution makes a lasting difference in the lives of my students, not just in their reading and writing growth, but in their confidence, excitement, and sense of connection to the wider world.
