My Project
Introducing new books into our Pre-kindergarten classroom will significantly enhance our learning environment by fostering a love for reading and improving literacy skills.
A diverse classroom library allows students to see themselves reflected in the stories they read, validating their experiences and building self-esteem.
It also exposes them to different cultures and perspectives. By enriching our library with a variety of books, we can create an engaging space that supports each child's educational journey and personal growth.
Learning through diverse books enhances problem-solving skills, creativity, and social connections, making education an exciting journey.
Nearly all 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
