Social Justice Literacy

The Description
Books are WINDOWS AND MIRRORS. Literature should be a WINDOW to other cultures and experiences but should also MIRROR your own culture and experiences.
But what if a student does not see their own culture or identity in the books that are in the classroom library?
With these funds, student's lives will be transformed. They will be asked to explore the lives, cultures, and beliefs of characters from diverse backgrounds through diverse literature. Reading these books will increase empathy and understanding for diverse walks of life that students may not normally be exposed to outside of the classroom.
We are raising these funds to purchase high-interest novels around themes of inclusivity, equity, bias, and other social justice-related themes.
Back Up Plan
If we do not reach our goal, we will have to ask parents and the community to donate more money in addition to the fees they already pay. We will continue to ask for donations throughout the year in hopes of using these books next year.
