My Project

These students are special because they love to make things with each other, with their families, and with community members. The activities are all relevant and real-world.

It is so important to expose students to new and relevant books to foster a love for reading.

I want to provide an opportunity for these students to choose from an abundant and lively, award winning, library book collection that provides multiple experiences to relate to real-world situations. Every child deserves to be exposed to endless possibilities while developing important critical thinking skills. After all, these kids are our future.
