Edit
My goal is to raise money not only for my own classroom, but all classrooms of our (PK-5) school. I would like to provide students with inclusive books displaying a diverse set of characters across a wide range of cultural backgrounds in order to embrace differences. Books are so powerful, and I believe books are a great way to help promote a more racially sensitive and inclusive learning environment for students. Like most public elementary schools, teachers often buy a lot of their own books and materials for their classroom. With this fundraiser, I hope to alleviate this financial barrier so that all teachers can have books that promote equality. In addition to providing a bundle of books for each classroom, I would also like to provide teachers with books to further educate themselves on ways to promote inclusion and embrace diversity in the classroom. Racial identity and socioeconomic identity are learned as early as Pre-K. Teachers are in the unique position to influence students early on. Let's work together to give teachers and students the resources they need to spread equality and kindness to ALL. Let's create safe classroom spaces where ALL children feel welcome. Let's do it together!
