$30,500
This grant supports the diversification of elementary classroom libraries across the District. Recognizing that books are both “Windows” through which readers learn about others who may be different from them and “Mirrors” where they see themselves and their families reflected in the characters and stories, this grant aims to expand classroom libraries to include more authors, characters, and storylines to more accurately reflect the diversity of our community and world. Through this grant, each District teacher K-4 will be given an allowance to select books from a curated list to enhance their classroom selections of books for read-alouds, book clubs and individual choice reading.
