Diverse Books!
Funded Jun 3, 2021It is with gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward our classrooms' Diverse Books! project.
When the books arrived I allowed each class to open one box. After opening the boxes individuals read aloud the back covers for all to hear, hands shot up like "wack a mole" with classmates expressing their desire to be the first one to read the new book!
With our new Diverse Books project over 120 students had access to books with main characters that looked like them, celebrated their cultures and had themes that mirrored their own lives. Students were engaged in their daily reading and for some students they read an entire chapter book for the first time ever, thanks to you!
Having access to Diverse Books has opened a window for students to see, appreciate and understand diversity and to begin practicing love and acceptance of others. Thank you for being a part of the Diverse Books! project and helping to change the lives of my students and our world.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Wilcoxen
