Copies of Native Son

The 11th & 12th grade students in American Literature will be studying the text _Native Son_ by Richard Wright as part of our next unit. This novel will be the basis of our second Grad Portfolio Task in Literature for the year. At this time, we could REALLY use some donations of the book!

Please take a minute to look around your home and see if there are any extra copies you would be okay offering to the kids. Also, there are many cheap used copies available at Amazon.com, if you would like to donate a copy. Copies of _Native Son_ can be sent to the school through your student or colleague OR you can mail the books to:
