Read Grant

from some of our READ Grant applicants: 

“Thank you for setting aside funds to help all students find mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors in the books they read!”

“As a parent of two Queer people, giving my students a safe, accepting, and loving classroom is always one of my top goals.”

“[I] would love to diversify my classroom library with more books that represent all the identities in my classroom.”

“I can’t wait to read “Bathe the Cat” to my classes – I love a great/funny read aloud, and presenting a mixed race family with two dads shows children that loving parents come in all shapes, colors, and combinations.”

“[Queer Ducks (and Other Animals): The Natural World of Animal Sexuality] helps students understand sexuality from a science perspective and break misconceptions about sexuality when examining from a scientific lens.”

“I want my students to see themselves in the books on the shelves.”
