Help me give my students the opportunity to read female-forward graphic novels (both written by women and those with strong female protagonists), along with classic compilations that will inspire a love for reading.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
As I was told when being interviewed, VNHS is a special place. Not only does diversity thrive on in the classrooms and on campus, but teachers and the administration work closely to ensure that our students succeed both academically and emotionally. My students are no exception. Coming from as far as South Central and even Lancaster, many of my students overcome a lot just to attend VNHS. Both my Residential, Performing Arts, and Math and Science Magnet students bring a curiosity and determination to their studies. They continue to inspire me, and I want to be able to provide them with all the opportunities they deserve.
My Project
Being a lover of the art form myself, I have found that graphic novels speak to potential young readers in ways that novels may not. Indeed, some of the more classic novels, while important, can be intimidating for students who are not yet confident in their ability as readers. This year, I have donated my own graphic novels, both of the superhero and independent genres, and have found success in utilizing them to bridge the gap between those who find reading enjoyable and those who have not yet found something of interest.
Now I want to update our class library, with special attention given to female-forward graphic novels, both written by women, and spotlighting strong female protagonists!
