My Project

It's almost time for the next presidential election, and we really need some wonderful, up-to-date titles that explain the election and its workings! Our current library offerings are a bit out of date and lacking in representation. Students have questions, and it would be wonderful to have books available for them to consult!

Our students deserve the best resources and inspiring stories to compel them to embrace civic leadership!

That is the intent with this project. We really would like for our students to be able to see a future wherein they are a part of the process!

Please help me give my students books that help them understand the upcoming presidential election!
