Bradley Tech teacher raises money for students' gift: a book - JSOnline


Bradley Tech teacher raises money for students' gift: a book - JSOnline:

"It all started when Megan Krueger, a first-year teacher in Milwaukee Public Schools, was approached by one of her freshmen this winter and asked whether Bradley Tech High School had received any other coats he could try on.

The teenager was small, and the only donated winter jackets in his size looked, as the young man put it, 'like girls' coats.'

An appropriate-sized coat was eventually found, but the story doesn't end there. Instead, it prompted Krueger and one of her friends to think about how they could give something - even something small - to the close to 80 students in Krueger's English classes before the holidays."
