In October 2022, Yours Humanly presented $15,000 worth of books for classroom libraries to Highland Community School, a Title 1 elementary school in Oakland, CA. Through a partnership with Oakland Unified School District, we identified Highland Community as a school most in need of English-language and bilingual picture books, chapter books, and leveled reading books for its 500 TK-5 students, 70% of whom are Spanish ELLs. Among other countries, Highland Community is home to students from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico. The books were presented to the students and staff during a festive outdoor all-school assembly and student awards ceremony. The donation of 1,000 books, made possible through our\u00a0Coloring Futures<\/a> initiative, benefits the children attending Highland Community today, and the thousands more who will attend over the years.

If you believe, as we do, that early literacy is the key to academic achievement, strong language skills, and lifelong learning, please\u00a0donate\u00a0<\/a>to help us continue to reach to students in need with the gift of books.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
