In this video, Lassiter explains how receiving the grant allows her to do her job. TRTF&#8217;s Foundation Month is in November, but you can donate now at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trtf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.trtf.org<\/a>!<\/em><\/div>\n<div>\nAngie Lassiter wants to teach her students to become lifelong readers, but many of the books in her classroom library are out-of-date and falling apart.<\/p>\n<p>Lassiter is a third grade bilingual teacher at Lorenzo De Zavala Elementary in San Marcos, Texas. Eighteen percent of the students in Lassiter\u2019s school district are considered Limited English Proficient, and 78 percent are considered economically disadvantaged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the books I have here are two to three levels above third grade,\u201d Lassiter said. \u201cThese are very difficult books that none of my students can really read.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The challenge of teaching with low quality books was lessened last May when Lassiter received a $500 grant from the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation (TRTF). Lassiter described herself as \u201celated\u201d when she discovered she would be able to purchase high interest and age appropriate books in English and Spanish for her classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Lassiter\u2019s grant was one of 15 annually distributed by TRTF. The grants are made possible by charitable donations from retired teachers from across the state.<\/p>\n<p>TRTF hosts Foundation Month in November. Foundation Month is a 30-day charity opportunity to donate to TRTF, so that grants like Lassiter\u2019s can continue to improve classrooms for Texas students.<\/p>\n<p>Please consider donating.
