Our 8th grade teachers were provided with a book list and selected this book as a whole class read-a-loud. Our teachers each had 1 copy of the book and the 8th grade students were coming into the library begging me to purchase more copies. Unfortunately, we are at that time of the year that the book-keeper is tallying accounts and no purchases could be made. Receiving these 90 books put smiles on almost 100 students faces! YES 12-year olds smiling because they received a book to use in class!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping fund our project and giving so generously. Donors Choose is an amazing platform that has allowed us to purchase \"extra\" items that would not have been possible within our annual budget. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving and choosing our school to support.
