They have found a healthy outlet to express themselves while simultanesouly navigating the ever-changing world around them. This corner has created a sense of community and peace for many students. \r\n\r\nLast semester, students were able to choose a book unique to their interests and reading level. They all created distinctive book report presentations: podcasts, physical or digital models, posters, speeches, and so much more. Reading is more than just literacy - it expands their creativity, communication skills, and fosters empathy. They continue to read about different cultures, genres, and possibilities. Our Book Nook has become the stepping stone to personal and academic growth. Their dreams are transcending the fictional world of characters by opening endless possibilities in reality. \r\n\r\nBook donations have continued to flood in with well known series like Harry Potter, The Prisoner, Hunger Games, etc. Students have continued to request new books to add to our mini library. We have now established a checkout system, and reading corner intervals. \r\n\r\nThey're love for literature, dreaming, and growth is only going to continue to rise because of you.
