My Project
What we love most about our students is their natural curiosity and how excited they get when a book truly grabs their attention. They are imaginative, thoughtful, and always eager to explore something new.
I’m requesting resources that will allow me to shift from traditional shelving to a forward-facing book display—where covers are visible, inviting, and easier for students to browse.
By displaying books face-out, I can highlight diverse voices, fresh topics, and high-interest titles that spark questions and conversations. This small change will have a big impact: helping students independently discover books that excite them, encourage exploration, and build a love of reading.
With your support, we’ll turn our shelves into a space where books jump off the shelf—literally and figuratively—and curiosity leads the way.
