My Project
Books are the key to my heart, but also to the world! As a new teacher, I came into school empty handed and have bought books for my classroom library, but not enough to cover all the beautiful cultures and traditions of students in my school. I would love to built a culturally diverse library that signifies that my room is a safe space for anyone or anything.
My students are the light of my life and I want reading to be a place where they can take their minds anywhere, at any time.
Traveling to another world is easy with the right stories.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
