We are a high-poverty, alternative school for students with the potential to get their educational careers back on track. Many of my students struggle socially and have never made school or reading a high priority. Many of them think they are not good readers and gave up trying to enjoy reading many years ago. Many have parents who work 2 jobs or work 3rd shift jobs and have not been able to read to their children. Many of my students have grown up in homes without the resources to pay for books. Once my students find that one book that they loved to read they can't get enough. My school creates life-long readers out of students who felt like they couldn't even finish a book when they came to us.
