Celebrate Black Teachers and Students
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Falling in love with a great book and getting lost in its words, should be an experience every student has. Providing and having access to diverse books addresses the concern that reading and representation matters.
Students will be able to see themselves in the pages of the book. The collection of books will not only make a difference in learning but its reflection, will allow the students to see themselves, their families and their communities while fostering a sense of being valued.
This project will help change the narrative and promote life-long learner, self-esteem, one book at a time.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
