This part is a 2 part project that directly supports our scholars who are classified as economically disadvantaged by the state of Massachusetts. The rain ponchos will be used to support scholars, a majority of which walk to school. Our data shows that days where there is rain, there is a significant drop in attendance. We believe that the ponchos will support scholars in their journey to school. Weather should never be a factor in whether or not scholars go to school. The novels sets in this project support scholars who do not have access to internet at home. This year, we are piloting a digital library for content reading. However, not all of our scholars have access to internet at home. These scholars will receive paperback copies of novels to be sure all scholars have access to the curriculum -- no matter their socioeconomic status.
