My Project

My students love to read! The library is truly the central hub of the school - it is full of students every morning before school and during lunch. After school it is the site of various clubs. I want to make sure my students are reading books until the very last day of school. One way to do this is by having new books to end the year with. When we are able to put new books on display, it keeps students more engaged with reading. We need new books to end the year strong!
