The Eastern Upper Peninsula Intermediate School District and Parents as Teachers of the EUP believe that diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible literacy materials promoting belonging are essential for all families to create a supportive and thriving community.
We are participating to help all voices be heard, and to help all readers be seen!
Because all children need to see themselves positively represented in our world.
Our school district continues to remove books. We provide access to those books and more.
I believe that everyone should see themselves in the stories.
Because I am an educator with a diverse family who believes books should be windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors.
For our children!
