My Project
The world is a vast, amazing place. My students represent the many faces of this world. Help me share more representative literature with my students so that every one of them can see themselves in our books.
Our school is a public school in a high poverty area, with a very diverse student population.
There are roughly 30 languages spoken in the homes of our students. Approximately 80% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Many of our students come from families struggling to meet even basic needs. Yet our students eagerly come in every day, ready for new discoveries and new challenges. Because of the positive attitudes towards learning that are being fostered here, our students fight hard to excel. I want them all to feel represented in the books we share as a class, as well as those they checkout from our class library.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
