My Students

Our middle school library serves more than seven hundred students. Our student population is highly inquisitive, energetic, and motivated to direct their own inquiry-based learning through the exploration of library resources. Our school has an incredible group of students from a richly diverse range of backgrounds. Unfortunately, high poverty is part of the daily experience for most of these learners.

Our wonderful students deserve to have every advantage of access to new books in which they can see themselves and look into other perspectives through books that feature characters different from them.

This year, we are focusing on closing the achievement gap and creating a school full of confident, successful students.

My Project

These materials will help fill our students' backpacks with high quality, entertaining graphic novels. Students check out books daily at our middle school and use them in English class to deepen conversations.

Graphic novels are high interest to our middle schoolers and help them build their vocabulary which will help them prepare for deeper content learning in High School.

Our students that do not speak English will benefit from the picture supports in these books. It is difficult for students to focus on finishing books with competition from video games, social media, and other electronic devices. These books with help serve our students as the last survey they filled out, they specifically asked for these books!
