My Project

The Owl Diaries and Unicorn Diaries serve as indispensable tools to comfort burgeoning readers and transport them to enchanting realms. These beloved book series cater to early readers, offering relatable characters, engaging narratives, and vibrant illustrations that ignite imaginations.

By requesting a diverse collection of these books, we aim to expand our young readers' literary horizons, providing them with an avenue to escape into captivating worlds while developing critical reading skills.

Our primary goal is to foster a love for reading among our students, empowering them to become confident, lifelong learners. These diaries hold immense potential to resonate with our diverse student body, catering to varying interests and reading levels. Our students, hailing from multifaceted backgrounds, possess a curiosity and eagerness to explore, making them a unique and motivated cohort ready to embark on literary adventures. Through this grant, we aspire to cultivate a nurturing environment where every student can thrive and find solace in the pages of these cherished diaries, nurturing both their literacy skills and their imagination.
