Teacher Education alumna Robyn Rosebear Iraheta's middle school students are in need. Over 90 percent are economically disadvantaged, 35 percent are English Language Learners, and over 75 percent qualify for free or reduced lunch. They're also in love with Max, the protagonist in Rodman Philbrick's "Freak the Mighty." Robyn is raising money to purchase books for her students so they can finish the series and understand how one self-deprecating character can overcome his learning disability, the death of his beloved best friend, and create positive change in his own life. Please help her if you can.
