My Project

At school, the hallways are filled with the hopes and dreams of our students. If you ask them what they will be doing when they are 100, you will find answers ranging from "taking care of my children" to "being a fireman."

Students love to read stories about other children's experiences, lives, and journeys.

By doing so, they are able to gain confidence and learn how to dream big themselves. The series Little People, Big Dreams also helps to develop empathy and further develop an understanding of the world around them. We have a few of these in our library, and they are a favorite of our students!
