My school is a diverse hub of learning, filled with 540 of the most lively, tenacious students in grades K-5 you will ever meet. My students come with a great economic need with 95%+ being considered low income. Due to this great economic need most of our students have limited to no reading materials available to them outside of school. Furthermore, 42% of my school is LEP (limited English proficiency), learning a new language can often be daunting process. My goal as the school's librarian is to make reading accessible and enjoyable to all of my students. Simply put, my students are the reason I happily go to work each day and the same reason I come home exhausted. Thank you for joining my school in our goal to put our students on the track to being successful, lifelong learners!
