Books For Winter Break

The Description

Over the past four months I have been responsible for my own classroom and leading my students in their learning. Through this experience I have been lucky be a part of the community that my school serves. As the holiday season fast approaches, I want to be able to send home every one of my students with a new book to enjoy over Winter Break.

For many of my students this will be one of only a few gifts that they receive this year and will be instrumental in building their love for learning. It would mean a great deal to my students and me if you contributed to my Holiday Book Fund as I know the investments will go to a group of hardworking, loving, and deserving students. Every dollar that is raised means we are closer to ensuring that none of my students go without a thoughtful present this season.

Back Up Plan

I will purchase as many books as possible to send home with my students if we do not reach our goal.

About the Creator

I serve to enrich the lives of others, to help build better students, parents, community, schools, organizations and ultimately stimulate a world that is more just and caring.

In elementary school, I had an educator
change the trajectory of my life, by simply taking the time to serve me in the best fashion essential to my needs. To this day, I can’t remember her name or even her face. My aha moment came when I realized
that one comes across numerous faces, names and deeds daily. However, One may forget a name and or
face, but you never forget a good heart. I will never forget that educator’s heart.

I believe that ONE person can change the trajectory of students who are often forgotten in our school systems. I believe that ALL
students deserve to learn at a rigorous level regardless of ethnicity, socioeconomic, political, sexual orientation, religion and or creed.
So many stakeholders have vested their time, energy and resources in ensuring an excellent quality education for me, therefore, I plan to invest in the lives of the children, I am to serve this year in the Miami-Dade Public School System. I want them to know that I believe and expect excellence from them this school year in every aspect of their lives.
