My Project

My group of learners comes from diverse backgrounds, all of which connect to make a beautiful arrangement of cultural experiences and learning opportunities. Help me give my students access to books in which they can see themselves within these strong characters.

"We are of course a nation of differences.

Those differences don't make us weak. They're the source of our strength." -Jimmy Carter

Help me empower my students to be balanced, caring, communicators, principled, knowledgeable, inquirers, reflective, risk-takers, and open-minded. Having access to rich literature will allow my students to build the skills necessary to be global-minded!
