These books fall under the classification of diversity and inclusion and cover a variety of topics and people. They will supplement the school's social studies curriculum by providing trade books that represent other perspectives in history, build character, and expose students to people from all ethnicities who have made significant contributions to society.
We need to enhance our offering of diverse books for the students so they have exposure to the many wonderful people in past history and modern day.
These books will be a valuable addition to our curriculum.
