Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I teach English to 8th grade students in an extremely urban area. We strive to culturally diverse and draw students who desire to become scholars, activists, and creators. As a charter school, we are limited in our funding and, unfortunately, have few classroom supplies and materials.

This past year, my students and I have been working to create a classroom library with books that attract adolescents. We have searched through second-hand bookstores and $1 library sales to find as many age-appropriate novels as possible. Unfortunately, we currently do not have a place in our classroom to house the fruits of our labor.

My students and I are asking for bookshelf so that our books will have a designated and accessible area in our classroom.

Your donation will help ensure my students that their hard work this year had a reason. Although many will be graduating in a few weeks, they understand the importance of leaving a legacy for the upcoming eighth graders. This could be their legacy!
