My Project

Our school and classrooms are melting pots; help me provide an inclusive library representing as many of our students as possible. Some students arrive with minimal English, and books of differing levels are essential. Other students have never seen or read books that represent them, and our multilingual, multicultural, polyglot library will help them see themselves in modern-day literature.

Every student deserves to see themselves in books!

Students from all three 4th grade classrooms will have access to the library. Since multilingual books are hard to find, these books will welcome any new students who come to our classes in the future.

Ms. Parsons will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 11.
