“Project LIT Community is a national, grassroots literacy movement that empowers students as readers and leaders. We are committed to increasing access to high-quality, culturally relevant books and promoting a love of reading in schools and communities across the country. Over the past two years, Maplewood High School students and their English teacher, Dr. Jarred Amato, have seen their project expand to more than 400 chapters across 44 states. You can follow our journey at @projectlitcomm!”
