Summary:
|
A group of librarians across five PPSD high schools received an initial Classroom Boost grant to
create a PPSD Reads program where PPSD purchased copies of English and Spanish texts for the
PPSD Reads student group to use as part of a multi-school discussion group. The grant also
includes workshops by the RI Poet Laureate. These activities have been ongoing since the fall.
The group applied for the remainder of the available Boost Funds to fund a visit from Elizabeth
Acevedo, an award-winning Dominican-American poet and author of young adult novels. Ms.
Acevedo will offer a workshop and book signing. |
