The Home Library Project is dedicated to ensuring that all students enjoy the benefits of being surrounded with books of their own choosing. Its goal this year is to provide each 6th grader with a library of 15 books at the end of the school year, going into summer, regardless of their economic status. The mission is to mitigate summer slide, a phenomenon that is mostly a result of the lack of resources, among our Free and Reduced lunch population. Their progress is put on hold while more affluent families engage in enriching activities over the summer and continue to read for pleasure because they are surrounded with books in their homes. Research shows that books in the home are one of the most influential factors of student success. Help us close the book gap and ensure all 6th grade students go home with a 15-book library!
