We are a large middle school and have a very diverse student population of almost 800 students. Our students love school. We hope to give them opportunities that will encourage them to be creative and work to be successful. We have one of the largest, poorest and most diverse student populations in our state. Many are homeless, with some staying in family shelters.
Our awesome middle school students have special social, emotional and academic growing to do, and it's our job to support them.
My Project
Our students are in hybrid and remote learning. Students and staff are scared and frustrated. Nothing is familiar and our technology is inconsistent. Nobody is allowed in the Library Media Center and students spend 99% of their day in one classroom. Our assemblies, celebrations and traditions are canceled. Morale is low.
The library is starting a delivery book program and hoping to bring some excitement and fun to our anxious students.
Our students will request books online and the librarian will deliver them to the class. We don't want other students critiquing what books are chosen, so we have requested brown paper bags that we will put encouraging message stickers on. And what's better than a book in a bag? How about an encouraging note, a candy and a new set of earbuds to use when you are on technology. (We currently don't have enough for one on one and aren't allowed to share.)
