Remember Your PCHS Media Center Donations
when it's time for
Tax Deductible Giving

If you'd like to help, but are not quite sure what to do, we've listed a few ideas for donations.

Books - We especially need novels of interest to high school students. What we cannot use in the media center, we will include in a 'Friends of the Media Sale' or will donate to other organizations.

Tape Recorders, CD 'Boomboxes', VCR's, and DVD Players
are all used in the classroom. So, if you are upgrading and would like a home for your old players, please keep us in mind.

Your tax deductible monetary donations are always welcome. Make checks payable to PCHS Media Center and mail to Gail Poole/Naomi Simmons, PCHS Media Center, 900 Campus Drive, Fort Valley, GA 31030.

Reading Research

Respecting students' choices and allowing them to read personally interesting materials was seen as the most important feature of a self-selected reading program (Worthy, Turner & Morroman, 1998).

In a sustained silent reading program in a 9th grade class of mostly at-risk students, there was an average gain of 3.9 year levels on reading achievement test scores after one year (Cullinan, 2000).
