My students have a desire to learn. They come to school eager for knowledge and look to me, as their teacher, to provide it.
Most of my students come from low income or single-parent families.
Many of my students do not have the basic tools and supplies they need for a typical school day. My students are very energetic and want to learn.
Our school is in a constant battle to get our students the basic necessities they need to become successful scholars.
My Project
I am asking for your help to add culturally diverse and inclusive books to our classroom library. Remote learning is difficult for children, especially young children.
I have had an opportunity to read a few culturally relevant stories to my student this school year, and I have never seen my students so focused during a read aloud!
If my project is funded it will allow me to read more books about black and brown children to the children I serve. Young students need to see books and characters that are relevant to themselves and I know the selection of books I have chosen will allow my students to continue to love reading.
Nearly all 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
