Our students at Spanish Springs High School are resilient and are thrilled to be back to full time in person learning. As their librarian, I would like to provide them with resources to help them adapt to change, navigate through our new ways of learning, and help them prepare for their futures. I would love to provide our students with positive resources to help them engage and uplift their spirits!
My Project
Our students at Spanish Springs High School are resilient! We value empathy and kindness. Some of the books have been requested by students. Other books have been selected to assist students navigate this world successfully, with confidence, and purpose. From heroes and heroines to mindfulness, these book selections will help create a more hopeful culture. Just think of the power of books. With one person positively impacted by a book, that positivity can trickle out to a larger community and inspire more hope and goodwill.
More than half of students from low‑income households
