My Project

In our ever-changing world, it’s crucial that students have access to books that reflect their experiences and connect to the present day. Many of the books in our school library have older copyrights, which means the stories and themes may not fully resonate with the diverse and dynamic lives of our students today. The TPT gift card will provide lessons to support these books.

With your support, I aim to update our school library with engaging, age-appropriate books that are not only entertaining but also culturally relevant, inclusive, and reflective of current societal themes.

These new books will feature contemporary authors and characters, vibrant illustrations, and stories that empower students to think critically, embrace diversity, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

Your contribution will ensure that our students have access to stories that make them feel seen and inspire them to dream big. Together, we can create a school library that equips students with the tools they need to navigate and succeed in today's world.
