We NEED Diverse Books

Donation protected
I am a culturally responsive elementary educator in Charlottesville, VA and want to do my best to cultivate inclusion and acceptance. Building diverse classroom libraries is a catalyst for creating the courage to have meaningful  conversations about diversity and taking action! I want my students to have the opportunity to read about their various cultures and lives and feel empowered to make connections and share with others. 

My students are a diverse group of curious learners. They are thoughtful, creative, and full of questions! They are learning every day how to demonstrate CARES (Cooperation. Assertion. Responsibility. Empathy. Self-control) in their school and home communities. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take risks in order to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.


Your donation will help to purchase close to 300 books to share with our school and community!

Thank you to the many friends, colleagues, and organizations that have provided amazing suggestions and book lists to choose from.


Please consider donating  to support my passion of educating and supporting  children.  If you aren't able to donate, I would greatly appreciate it if you would share the link with your family, friends, and spheres of influence. 

With a grateful heart,
Lauren
