In honor of 9/11 Day, Violet will be taking part in a service project for her social studies class. She will be holding a book drive to benefit a local school that fell victim to arson on July 15, 2020. Ford Early Learning Center serves the community of Ypsilanti, MI. It is a school for pre-k and kindergarten. The teachers lost everything.

Violet has created an Amazon wish list containing books geared towards social justice and social emotional development. This list contains books about families, children of color, and differing abilities. Violet hopes to not only replace what was lost, but expand the diversity provided to the children of Ford Early Learning Center. When books are purchased from the wish list, they will be sent to Violet. She will collect books from 09.11.2020 – 10.11.2020. On October 12th, Violet will deliver the books to Ford Early Learning Center.

Thank you for taking part in Violet’s service project!
