To benefit a new charter school committed to eliminating the opportunity gap in Asheville
WHY PEAK?
We hope to prove what is possible – to close the gap by having our black/brown students scoring at or above the levels of the white students, and to have a high percent of our students prepared for honors/AP in high school and go on to college. Our intent is to share our successes with Asheville City Schools and Buncombe County Schools to help eradicate the gap not just for our students, but all students of color in the area.
HOW TO HELP?
Donate lightly used or new books: individual classroom library books and/or book sets (4-5 copies of one title).
WHAT TYPE OF BOOKS?
Any elementary grade titles, with emphasis on K-2 – nonfiction books, picture books, phonics readers, or chapter books, with special emphasis on collecting books with characters/biographies with persons of color.
