My Students

My students come from very diverse backgrounds. Many of them have experienced challenges we adults could not imagine. Our diverse classrooms bring many different cultures and languages. School is a safe and engaging place for all students with different backgrounds to come together to play, build relationships, experience, learn and grow safely. My readers come to school eager and ready to engage in their day. We work hard to meet the needs of each of these students both academically and socially.

My Project

How many of you love the feeling of opening a brand new book, especially one you have been waiting to read? My students love that feeling, and due to reduced budgets this year haven't had the opportunity to read many new books.

You can provide the chance for my students to have some new books in our school library for them to read and love!

Each of these books either continues a favorite story, is written by a favorite author, or is recommended to us by a trusted librarian! My students can't wait to get their hands on these books and read, read read!
