My Project
Having access to books, whether inside or outside of the home, is not a reality for all kids. As a school that serves students of different ethnic backgrounds and from low-income families, it is our responsibility to ensure students have access to high interest and quality books.
One of the core values of our school is to represent each and every student in our collection.
When students can see themselves, their cultures, and their families in books, they are more likely to check out and read these books. It is proven when students read books, they have higher academic success, vocabulary development, attention, and job attainment. When students have diverse books with diverse characters, settings, and story lines, students are able to develop more empathy and understanding for those around them.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
