My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Language Arts teacher, who has been a member of the Thoreau Society for 5 years. During this time, the Thoreau Society has been invaluable to me as a teacher, who uses Thoreau extensively in my writing classes. The Society has provided me with an abundance of information on this American author that I share with my students. Because of the Thoreau Society and their support of me as a teacher, I have witnessed my students' writing develop in many ways emulating THoreau. Their critical thinking and awareness of social justice has also grown. The Society is readily availab=le to answer any questions and share its wealth of knowledge. Also, the Society is accepting of anyone who has an interest in Thoreau. Even though I am just a junior high teacher, I have been welcomed and priileged to share my work with younger children at the annual Gatherings. I am deeply indebted to the Thoreau Society for their fostering of Henry David Thoreau's legacy and their encouragement to others who wish to learn about this great American figure.
