My Students

Our school has a diverse population with a high percentage of students with Native American heritage. It is also considered a high poverty school with approximately 90% of the students receiving free or reduced-price lunches.

Do you remember visits to the library when you were young?

Exploring the shelves, looking for a book that would take you on an exciting adventure. Remember the excitement of getting to check out a book? My students are avid readers that devour all the books in our library. The students love coming to the library to get books and explore worlds outside their small community.

In this small, rural town community, our resources are low. The students depend on our school library because most do not have access to books outside of school. The students who will be in my library come to school with needs that go beyond academics. Let's create a space that allows them to feel welcome.

My Project

Illustrating a story is so hard for some. I want to give every student to chance to invigorate their stories with hand drawn pictures. We want to draw the reader's attention with some art. These books and supplies will help us draw simple pictures to go along with our stories.

Bring our books to life with art.

We also have some great books in our library that have some tired (& old) cover artwork. We are having a "Don't judge a book by its cover" art contest. We are going to make new covers for books that are still surviving but don't look as "pretty" as our new books.
