Wonderful helpful article that I shared to my social media network. Please continue to be safe and well.
Thank you for making available the resources that will help families and students during school closure and throughout the summer. Incredible.
Thank you so much for this information!
I am from Benavidez Elementary School in Houston HISD, we have more than one thousand students from low income families. It is a multi lingual school with Spanish speaking majority and plenty of new arrivals from different parts of the world. Most of our library books are outdated and old. Most of our students speak other languages at home, and they need a lot of help in school to learn English. A well equipped library with variety of subjects and laguages is an essential requirment for the type of students we give service daily.

Thanks for these opportunity posts. I spent March/April writing and publishing a children's book to give teachers and parents a new tool to help #COVIDkids. It's 9-year-old Aiden's story about the challenges of pandemic life, amid other life altering changes. Teachers, child psychologists, social workers say: "An engaging, thoughtful and reassuring book . . . so useful for starting conversations with children about their feelings during crisis and change . . . with some hope and a few chuckles along the way." A writer (not formal educator), I've been promoting gifting the paperbook to a teacher, library or parent. Also been contacting organizations, foundations, philanthropists to organize underwriting to get this important book into the hands and ears of children 7-11year-olds and especially at-risk kids. No luck with this yet. Any suggestions for approach for any of these grant opportunities? Any way to submit info about the book for a newsletter or social media post to your audience? Thanks so much for your insight and assistance. Available here: "A crazy year - it isn't easy!"
