My Project
As an educator, I am deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment where young minds can thrive. To further this mission, I am working to build a classroom library centered on social-emotional learning (SEL) and inclusion, helping students develop essential skills such as empathy, resilience, and self-awareness.
Books play a powerful role in shaping perspectives, encouraging dialogue, and promoting mental well-being.
With your support, I hope to provide students access to stories that celebrate diversity, teach emotional intelligence, and create a strong sense of community.
I am seeking donations of SEL-focused books and literature on inclusion that will help children navigate their emotions, build positive relationships, and understand the value of diversity. Whether it's beloved picture books, inspiring chapter books, or thought-provoking non-fiction, every contribution will make a meaningful impact.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
