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.

This helped increase awareness and engagement throughout our semester. We utilized the meme stickers as participation incentives during classroom presentations regarding mental health and we also were able to gift them out at our end of semester self care event! A student favorite has been the \"spin the wheel\" activity in which we have utilized the wheel donated to engage students in discussions about myths vs facts on mental health. It has made the process of providing psychoeducation to our students fun and once again engaging.
