My students are hungry for knowledge. Despite the many obstacles they fight to overcome on a daily basis, this one thing never changes: they always want to learn more.

My urban students are primarily from high-poverty neighborhoods in our city.

Our high school is an urban high school that is very low-income and high-need and where the graduation rate for certain groups is as low as 50%.

The need for my students is great! How can we not provide them with the books they so desperately want?
