RISE Library
 
We are building our RISE (Representing Inclusivity and Soaring for Equity) Library created by our BIPOC committee, led by Ms. Henderson. The collection of books, which will be in the library and checked out for classrooms, was collected by Ms. Henderson through her outreach to bookstores, authors, and publishers.
