About the Project

The purpose of this project is to encourage our students’ love for reading by buying books that are highly engaging for the students. The books will be used for novel studies by teachers, in book clubs that span grade levels, and new books for our school library. Teachers will also be given money to buy books that support SEL, and diversity learning in the class. Finally, books that support academic standards can also be purchased as paired text. The goal is to increase student literacy to help bridge the learning gaps that have occurred during the pandemic while also instilling a love of literature.
