Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Creating a love of reading is an essential skill for life long learning. We have many holes in the current library to fill. We are trying to fill some of the holes that we have for students learning about the world around them and about the world inside their minds.

Please help us supply our students with books that will allow them to learn about the environment and how to care for it as well as their mental health and how to care for it and the friends around them.
