Read One, Reach One: Representing Who We Are!

Help me give my students a new library of diversity books. Having books that represent who they are will be a game changer! I think having these books will make my students want to read!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Route's classroom raised $246

My Project

I love that my class is a diverse group of students! Having a new library filled with a variety of multicultural books, will help my students understand who they are, as well as their classmates. I’m excited to learn new beliefs, new words, and new ideas! Reading about different cultures will help us all feel connected and welcomed in our classroom! My students will be engaged and hopefully will want to open up a book and read about someone or something they didn’t know about. Let’s reach each student by giving them the books they need to embrace who they are!
