  • Diverse Stories for Diverse Readers!

    Funded Jul 14, 2025

    Having access to diversity in characters and stories in the books we have for our students in the library is so important. All students deserve to have books that represent them, their families, and the amazing stories that inspire them! This project was so close to my heart as I work diligently to ensure that my readers are represented.

    Without the kindness and support of people like you it would take longer to build these collections of stories due to funding. With your support and this funded project 55 diverse books are being added to our school library! That is AMAZING and so POWERFUL for our readers!

    Thank you, I am truly humbled to your kindness and support. Thank you for supporting these stories, these readers, and this little school library that is full of love and magic!”
