Our focus every year at BPE is to get more books in the hands of kids! We've had various projects to inspire readers from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, including a school-wide reading competition and a "lending library" in our entryway. Whenever new books are displayed in our library, in the classroom or even in the entryway, students swarm the area, excited to find the perfect book. They'll trade books in the hallways, classrooms and outside on the playground, carting them around in backpacks, lunch boxes or carrying them in their hands.
We're redoing our school library, and many of the science texts are VERY out-of-date!
We need to get accurate information in the hands of students, and one of the more popular formats of texts right now is graphic novels! Students at BPE love getting new books , and these texts will encourage their continued learning about our world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
