Supply Novels For My English Classes

The Description

With these funds I will purchase books for my students. We are currently a Title I school and students come from a low income area. While I would love to have the ideal classroom where parents will purchase the books that students need in my class, this is not the reality. Through PledgeCents, I want to make this happen. PledgeCents will provide this opportunity for my students. My students would deserve the materials because we are limited to only 3-5 books and I will need classroom sets of books to provide to each student. With my cause, I will be purchasing 35 novels of "AND THEN THERE WERE NONE" by Agatha Christie, "A RAISIN IN THE SUN", and "SPEAK". Not only that, I will supply each student with their own personal copy of the text to build his or her own personal library. 

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal, I will solicit assistance from the community to assist students the best way that they can. I will use vendors that will give me reasonable prices for the books. I will reach out to salvage and used bookstores to locate as many books as I can. I will also continue to reach out to public libraries and anyone that can assist me in obtaining the novels.
