Help me give my students new fiction and nonfiction books to welcome them back to in-person learning. The library is hopping again after a very quiet, difficult year and we want to put awesome books in their hands ASAP!
Our students attend a rural public high school, which serves about 530 students. We are located in an area where the socioeconomic status of many residents is low. Many students have parents who are out of work, especially after the devastation that Covid-19 has brought to our world. Our school relies heavily on state funding and this year, we are struggling once again due to COVID-19. Budgets are being cut and our students are feeling the brunt.
Our students are creative and kind and they strive to reach their goals no matter what obstacles they face.
They continue to achieve success despite more challenges and fewer resources. They forge ahead without complaints. Although funds are low, our students' passion for books hasn't dulled one bit. Please help keep this thirst for literature alive by supporting our school.
My Project
Our students are back in the library after a tough year of remote learning and lots of sacrifices. The library is hopping and we are back in action. We have many voracious readers this year and I want to be able to meet their passionate demand for books. I want to give them access to new, innovative materials that meet their educational and entertainment needs.
During a time when kids are finding fulfillment in activities they thought they might never give a chance, we want to provide them with portals to the world and self-discovery.
These materials will help them excel emotionally and educationally.
