With these funds I will purchase books.  This year Turner High School has the opportunity to participate in Academic Decathlon. http://www.usad.org/ This is a premier national scholastic competition for high school students.  The mission of the U.S. Academic Decathlon is to "promote learning and academic excellence among students of varying achievement levels by developing  and providing multidisciplinary academic competitions using U.S. Academic Decathlon-based curricula."  For the first year, all materials are provided for free, except the novel.  I need to purchase 10 copies of the novel, Transit, by  Anna Seghers for the students.  Students will share books.   The books cost $9.49 each through Barnes and  Noble, for a total of $94.90.  I rounded up to $110.00 to take fees into account.  The students and I appreciate any financial support you can provide!
