As part of our celebration of Black History Month in February 2021, we began a partnership with local area schools (BVSD: Boulder Valley School District) to help provide windows and mirrors for students through diversifying the bookshelves in Elementary school classrooms. Check out the video to hear from our partner at BVSD.
So far we have outfitted every classroom at Lafayette Elementary, Pioneer Elementary, Fireside Elementary and Mesa Elementary with diverse books.
Our hope is to contribute books to every elementary school in BVSD.
The 2024 BOOK DRIVE is benefiting
COAL CREEK ELEMENTARY in Louisville.
