This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Our students are from all over Baltimore and many commute across the city in order to attend this school for one of the 22 vocational and technical career pathways that we offer. We the largest high school in the city and serve a diverse student population. Sadly, however, our library has been neglected and overlooked for many years and is in desperate need of updating. The average age of our collection is 1984, and with your help, I want to bring our collection into the 21st century! The students have been super excited about having the library be open so far this year and are flocking to this space during free periods and after school, and they are requesting all kinds of titles and topics to be added to the library!
Help encourage students to read and explore literature by fulfilling their requests for different texts!
These materials are eagerly awaited by students, they ask nearly every day if I have been able to find or get them. Providing students with current and interesting texts will support their literacy goals and help encourage or retain an interest in reading even as it helps to update and build our collection.
