In 2025 we chose 6 schools: Cooper Lane Elementary School, in Prince George's County; and Malcolm X, Miner, Nalle, Savoy, and Turner Elementary Schools in Washington, DC. Each school will receive a grant of $500 to buy books from the First Book Marketplace. Do you have any possible nominees? Please email Kem Sawyer with your recommendation.
