My Project

I hope this letter finds you well. This project is in honor of Martin Luther King Jr who is honored nationally next week. As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are excited to embark on a project that pays tribute to Dr. King's legacy and furthers his vision of equality and justice. Our school is seeking your support to bring an enriching experience to our students by expanding our library with a collection of books written by Black authors.

We believe in the power of literature to inspire empathy, understanding, and unity among our students.

By curating a diverse collection of books authored by Black writers, we aim to celebrate the contributions of African American voices and promote cultural awareness in our school community.
