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. 📚 “Thanks to amazing partners like Serve Your City/Ward 6 Mutual Aid, our Eastern Senior High School students have access to more books from diverse authors that reflect their lives, open their minds, and make the world a more beautiful and accepting place.” — Ms. Olivia Lucas, History & Literature Teacher at @easternhs. 📖 BIG thanks to our community partner, @eastcitybookshop, for supporting our mission to provide #DC’s Black & Brown youth with 🆕 books at no cost to families! 💻 Help #ServeYourCityDC/#Ward6MutualAid close the literacy gap by showing #solidarityNOTcharity!
