Working with the school's teachers, students had the chance to vote to determine which characters the library walls will portray.

This collaborative process provides another opportunity for students to pay attention to representation and why it matters to everyone, and to contribute to making a change

in their school.

Through better representation, the long term goal is to promote a sense of inclusion and belonging for all who enter the Hannah Elementary School library, and invite all to consider, explore, and celebrate different perspectives, identities, cultures, and experiences.

The Beverly Education Foundation is so very grateful for the Cummings Foundation support of our mission to enhance and enrich public education in Beverly.

These funds are already being put to great use! Each Elementary School was provided their $1,200 stipend for this school year to use toward enrichment programs.

Here is one recent example of these grant funds in action:

We look forward to sharing with you all the additional programs and initiatives these funds will support that will continue to benefit our schools, staff and teachers!
