English Literature capstone students kicked off a PonyUp campaign this weekend to raise $1,000 to buy books for children from low-income families.
The students will visit a first-grade classroom at Whittier Elementary in November to distribute books purchased from the campaign. From research in children’s magazines of the 19th-century, they are also creating a book of reprinted stories and verse, which they will read and distribute during their school visit.
The students in Tara Penry’s Senior Capstone in Literary Studies – Emily Allen, Marcus Blindfold, Shannon Brennan, Brennen Keen, and Amanda Timm – will post the progress of their campaign at ponyup.boisestate.edu/sharebooks. The campaign runs from Oct. 14 through Homecoming on Saturday, Nov. 4.
To receive regular communications about the project, please email Shannon Brennan at shannonbrennan@u.boisestate.edu.
