Representation Matters! A Library for All Students

Help me give my students books that are meaningful and relevant to their identities and experiences!

My Students

Our students are so eager to learn and come to the classroom with so many diverse experiences! They love to talk, and exchange ideas and thinking with each other.

At our school, we have students who are from many racial, ethnic, and religious groups and who come from different countries across the globe; our school is so VIBRANT because of it.

Our students are so respectful of the differences that exist in our school, and it is our goal to help facilitate respectful conversations about these differences.

Since we have such a diverse student population, we want to make sure that they all are represented in the books they can find in our school library. Every student should feel important and be able to find books to read that are interesting and relevant to them.

My Project

Our school is made up of many different races and cultures. It has never been more important for our children to see that our differences should not divide us, but be celebrated for the unique elements that make us special while helping us to focus on the things that make us all part of the same school, community, and nation. We must take care of each other and to do that we must respect and listen to each other.

This project will help our children see themselves reflected in these stories and validate for them that their cultures and their identities matter.

It will allow us to purchase books for our library that reflect many different cultures and perspectives. In addition, it will help our students to learn about and appreciate cultures and identities that differ from their own. Due to the budget cuts we are facing, this project will allow us to add books that we will not otherwise be able to afford to purchase. Because they will be added to the library collection, every child in our school will have access to them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
