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

We have a huge reading crisis in the United States. A lot of kids are reluctant readers because they find it challenging or boring.

I want to expand my classroom bookshelf to include more graphic novels.

I want to give my kids the books that they will be excited about reading. I have a lot of books in my classroom, but sadly, my graphic novel collection is lacking.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. I know you can give to any project, but you chose to give to mine.

Mrs. Hartley
Grades 6-8
