My Project

Post COVID, my school has noticed a literacy gap in our younger grades. Specifically in 6th, we want to ignite their love for reading through engaging and exciting books. Our budget has declined over the years but we are looking to put some more zest into our library.

It is backed by statistics, that the more kids read, the more access they will have to job opportunities post graduation!

It's my job as an educator to foster their love for reading with as many books and options I can find. Now is the time to instill that love of learning, so that they can choose whatever career path speaks to them!
