MSC Teacher Receives Grant to Stock Classroom Library
Students in Stacy Gunsel’s ELA class at Middle School Central will soon have plenty of reading options courtesy of Scholastic Book Club and best-selling author James Patterson. Gunsel applied for a grant last spring requesting funds to help make “high-interest” books available to her students. In her application, she said she wanted to create a more expansive library that would serve “learners with very diverse ability levels.”
Last month, she learned that she was one 3,500 teachers who would receive $500 to purchase books through Scholastic and Patterson’s $1.75 Million Giveaway in support of classroom libraries. More than 82,000 teachers applied for the program. Congratulations, Ms. Gunsel.
