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

Many of our school's library books have been so loved that we need new titles, characters, and themes to fill our library shelves.

It's heartwarming to see students trying to read books while walking into their next class; somehow, they manage not to trip or bump into another student.

With the end of school coming, our students are interested in more diverse themes, characters, and book subjects. Some of the requested new books are a snapshot of America's past. In the future, these new books will have done their job of educating and entertaining our middle school students.
