My Project

So many students come through the doors of our library and don't feel like the stories or characters are relatable to them. We want to change this by adding more diversity to encourage both their love of learning and of reading. Many of our students do not have the means to go to a public library or purchase books on their own, leaving our school library to fill in the gaps. This donation is beyond anything we could hope for. One story can change a life and any of the titles chosen will have a massive impact on our community.

Ms. Rachelle
Grades 6-8
