My Project
Over the past few years, it has become very evident that we need to do better when it comes to antiracism and including books that reflect our students and increase our knowledge as antiracist educators. This project is asking for a variety of books that help support this endeavor.
As an educator, it is my responsibility to expose students to other cultures and make sure they are seen.
By supporting my project, you will help add a variety of texts to our school. There is a lot of work to do in the area of education, but by adding these books, this will be a step in the right direction.
These books will be used in our conversations about race and equity. In addition, other books will be made available to our school's race and equity team as a resource available to all.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
