My Project

Students at my school are open-hearted and enjoy learning about other cultures, while also building their identity through connection to literature.

Including books that celebrate diversity and inclusion in our school library will support students during these critical years, while expanding their understanding of their world.

Please help build our library and give reading material to our students to help them think critically. Our families come from all over the world, and students take care of each other in our school - expanding their reading choices will help students to deepen their knowledge of cultures and build empathy.

Ms. Castine PS/IS 104 the Fort Hamilton School Grades 6-8
