Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My school is predominantly housed with African American students. My students are always coming to the library to seek more books about their heritage or books that relate to them.

As a result, I would like to start a "Like Me" collection in the library with the books that have been selected in order to lure the students in to identify with more books that look like them.

I feel that seeing more books that connect with them will have them circulating the books day in and day out non-stop.
