My Project

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 preK-5th 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 stacks in their arms.

Students at BPE love getting new books, and even more, love reading texts that represent them and their lives.

As we're working to shed light on bias and build critical literacy from an early age, these texts are essential to sharing untold stories. Some of the most popular titles right now are any kind of graphic novels, so the format of these books will allow students at all reading levels to travel back in time and learn about these important events. By knowing the foundation of where we've been, they will be better informed to advocate for change and justice in their future.
