Back to Basics: Books

Verified Non-Profit



$1,134
$600 goal

The Description
With these funds I will...purchase supplemental novels and plays for my high school students. Since our librarian was laid off for budget cuts, and our existing book selection is dated, my girls do not have access at school to rich literature. Teaching literature is the heart of what I do, but I need more books. This money will allow me to purchase over 100 books and share them with my fellow English teachers.
My students deserve this because each one applied to attend our all girls, public, college prep school. They want a pre-college experience and education, and they work hard for us. This money will show them that others care about their education too.
I will be purchasing novels and plays from Better World Books. This website offers used books for $4 each and no shipping fees. More importantly, for every book purchased, the company donates a book to another organization or school. If you can help support my students, you are performing double the acts of kindness.
Some titles I am interested in purchasing are: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Into the Wild, The Secret Life of Bees, Crime and Punishment, and maybe more.
Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal I will purchase...as many books as possible! If I can only get a class set of 33 books, then I can work with that. Or if I can purchase less than 30, I will use the funds to start my own classroom library.
