📚 “Thank you for your generous donation of books to our scholars at J.O. Wilson Elementary! Thank you for providing books that display cultural representation and stories our students can see themselves in. Your kindness helped foster a love for reading while ensuring every child feels valued and represented. It was amazing to see the joy and happiness on our students’ faces when they were selecting their books and the thrill of excitement as they read them. Your support makes a lasting impact on our community!” — Ms. Cierra Barnes, 4th Grade ELA Teacher at @jowilsoncardinals.![]()

📚 “Now more than ever, students need literature that affirms their experiences and sees their full humanity. Watching the excitement on students’ faces as they realized these books were full of Black characters—and that they were for their own home libraries—was truly a sight to behold. Thank you to SYC/W6MA and all donors for helping remind my Eliot-Hine Middle School scholars that they are still seen and loved!” — Ms. Ashleigh Rose, School Librarian at @eliothinems_eagles.![]()
