Help me give my students books about equity and social justice from award winning book lists.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Welsh's classroom raised $733
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
This project will be to continue to diversify our library collection. We are continuing to add Native American authors to ensure inclusive perspectives in our communities thinking and beliefs. This is especially important as the tribal reservation is so much a part of our state and local community.
We also hope to add a number of Award Winning books to continue to provide our students with rich and thoughtful stories from the the current year's Newbery, Caldecott, Belpré, Sibert, Geisel, and Batchelder Award and Honor books.
These books are exemplary works of literature that students will love to read again and again.
More than three‑quarters 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
