My Project

Creating an inclusive classroom starts with the environment and the stories we share.

I’m seeking support to add diverse picture books that celebrate all backgrounds, abilities, and identities to our classroom library.

These stories will help students see themselves and others in powerful, positive ways. I'm also requesting a cozy new rug to make our reading area more inviting and accessible for everyone.

With your help, our classroom will become a space where every child feels valued, seen, and excited to learn together. Thank you in advance for your donations to this classroom library!
