It's nearing that time of the year.
There's a cold nip in the air, bright lights and wreaths are wrapped around street lights, and a chilly breeze from the Boston Harbor swoops through the city's high-rises. Thanksgiving is around the corner, followed by the many different cultural celebrations in December. And if you have the means, you may be considering how to participate in charitable giving this holiday season.
If you check out our donation page, you will see hundreds of books requested by the Mather School. However, a few titles in particular will expand students' education, support their ongoing classes, and most importantly, make them smile.
Here is a charitable giving gift guide for the upcoming holiday season.
The Mather School has an Illustrative Math (IM) curriculum in place. These titles will support the math community.
