My Project

My students are so hard-working and absolutely love reading. It’s so great to see and makes my heart so happy. Lately, they’ve been seeking more out of their books, and in order to keep their interest, I want to get good books into their hands.

I want to get inclusive books, diverse books, and books that keep them hooked!

I want my students to learn important messages from the books they read. I want them to foster and always have a love for reading. My students deserve good, diverse books that help them grow their love for reading.
