My Project

Our children are the bravest and strongest children that you will find. Serving a marginalized community in a Title 1 school, we help the children that need it the most.

In the upcoming school year, our school has prepared a curriculum that is rich in social-emotional learning and inclusion.

It is our goal to make each child feel both seen and heard in the classroom.

In order to accomplish our mission we still need some books for our school library: books that were included in the curriculum, but are not currently available for use in the school! By providing a few of the books that the children need, you're helping ease them into a year of engagement and literacy.
