My Project

As newcomers find their home in the classrooms of our school, so too should they find books in our libraries that represent them and their heritage language. Please help me to stock our shelves with books that they can enjoy even as they learn a new language. Books should reflect who we are and where we come from even as they introduce us to new perspectives, ideas, and dreams.

Your donation will help us build a stronger bilingual program and provide amazing resources to all of our students and community.
