I read, you read, we all read. Just do it.

CHS Library received the most amazing gift today! @samanthapagni ‘s art students used upcycled reference books to make new section markers for the fiction and nonfiction sections. They turned out much better than I imagined! @CHSBlackKnights #GoBlackKnights

So thankful to @AaronEichorst @CvilleSchools @VABookFest and @VAHumanities for getting to spend the afternoon with students listening to @jocelynjohnson talk about art, writing, publishing, and her collection My Monticello! @CHSBlackKnights

@Mingraham123 @JustinAion My kid has told me I can’t quit until after he graduates next year but mostly because I’m a librarian and have an office and vr equipment😝

[Black Knights Read @CHSReads]

@Doc_EI @CHSBlackKnights Thank you, Dr I! And thank you for supporting reading and the truth about Black history all year long. @ZyahnaB thankful to continue sharing your work!

@JasonReynolds83 We desperately need more parents who are willing to stand up in these same school board meetings to say that they support books and reading choice, and that no one other parents should be able to limit what their children read!

@Doc_EI @CHSBlackKnights @getnicced giving away copies of Jackpot this year has given me and our kiddos SO MUCH JOY 🤩

[Black Knights Read @CHSReads]

@Doc_EI @CHSBlackKnights Thanks for making it happen @Doc_EI !! Don’t know if you heard squeals of excitement coming from the atrium but that definitely made my whole year!

[Black Knights Read @CHSReads]

In our second installment, @JSAAHC & Mapping Cville give you the first 350 properties with racist covenants in their deeds, bringing us from 1903-1933.

A huge thank you to the hundreds of people who have logged a deed. There's much more to go, and we can't do this without you!

@ZyahnaB Has literally EVERY hallmark of fake news: no author, no way to contact the organization, all statements are hyperbole, confirms biases of those the author thinks are scared, doesn’t even try to use any form of evidence... and yet too many will believe and pass it on...

"A lot of times teachers will ask me, ‘What’s one thing I can do to help my students of color?’ I need educators to be less afraid of acknowledging race. You start by acknowledging the students of color." Read SLJ's interview with @IjeomaOluo.

@hotpotatoes80 @sljournal @IjeomaOluo People are not all the same, plenty of White folks prefer to be identified as Irish or Italian... why is it so hard to accept that ALL children deserve to be taught about the successes of real people who look like them and who share their backgrounds?

This is a must-read, friends. “A culturally-affirming social-emotional learning relates students back to their ancestry while recognizing and addressing trauma.”
