Spurlino Foundation - $1,071.00

Project Goal

To purchase 150 copies of Patron Saints of Nothing to give away to students at Brandon High School so that we may read the book together, teachers, students, and admin and participate in a whole school book club and discussion.

How Project Benefits Students

This novel deals with current issues of identity, mental health, drugs, government corruption, and loss. Reading a book in community helps create reading enjoyment and a deeper connection to both the text and the people who are also reading. This helps us build a school community. As we read together we will discuss the issues by looking at what literally happens in the book, how that connects to other texts and our global world, how it connects to our lives, and based on the discussions, what we feel called to do.

Expected Outcome(s)

Increase reading enjoyment for all students, specifically marketing to our lowest level readers. Increase students' ability to make meaning from text and to connect to text.

Increase community building between teachers, students, and admin who are all reading the same book.

Detailed Cost Summary

The list price for the one novel is $10.99 but with the volume and county discount of 35%, the per item cost is $7.14. There is no tax or shipping since it is for school.
