My Project
We are seeking donations to help build a social emotional and diversity library for our K–5 students. This collection will feature books that promote empathy, kindness, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and an appreciation for diverse cultures and experiences.
These resources will support classroom learning and help students better understand themselves and others, creating a more inclusive and emotionally supportive school environment.
With your help, we can ensure every child has access to stories that inspire compassion, confidence, and connection. Books will be available in classrooms, in the library, and in calm down spaces to reach students throughout the school day.
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
