My Students

Our school's mission is to build a community of learners that meets the individual needs and passions of the students we serve.

We have over 1100 enthusiastic learners at our school who are diverse in many ways.

We have students from all different backgrounds and cultures. We have students with many different passions and interests, from STEM areas to theater and music. We have students who are learning English as a second language, and those who are learning foreign languages. In fact, our ESL population has doubled in the last year and continues to grow. Our school has programs for life skills students and social skills programs for students with autism. About 27 percent of our students are economically disadvantaged. Forty-four percent of our population is considered "at-risk," but these labels do not stop our students.

My Project

Graphic novels and Manga novels fly off the shelves in our library. Students just love them. They are great for reluctant readers because they are easily accessible with the format. They are also great for more advanced readers because of the inference skills needed to read both the text and pictures.

Research shows that when students choose what they read, they will read more and are more likely to become life-long readers.

It is obvious that these books are well-loved and read often. The current books are very worn with pages falling out. The shelves almost always stay completely empty. I would like new copies so our readers can keep enjoying these books. I would also like more books so that more readers are able to check them out to enjoy reading them.

With additional copies of some of the popular titles, more students will have access to these popular books. We will also complete the entire series of the most popular series.
