My Project

I have an after-school program that promotes positivity and reading resilience. Each day I read a book called, Garvey's Choice to the scholars in the program. They love this book and stay engaged with this read-aloud. At the end of the program, I would love to gift each child with their new favorite book. If you could support me with this project, I would greatly appreciate it.

This book will serve as a tool to increase the scholars' joy of reading and sharing the moral of the story with their families.

The story is very relatable to scholars of all ages. Our goal is to continue to make connections with our families. This book is a great way to present conversation starters for family night discussions.
