Support Mrs. Fenner's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are awesome, first and foremost. Most of them come from working-class, immigrant families. We have a very large population of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. As the teacher librarian at my own alma mater, I have seen an insatiable desire from hundreds of my students here in terms of adding to our old, somewhat outdated Library collection. My suggestion box at the circulation counter is filled with requests, most notably for more manga. Many of our students either do not have the funds to just go out and buy books, or do not have the time or transportation to get to our local public libraries. Therefore, our school library is an integral resource for our students.
