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 in an inner city high school in Massachusetts. Our large school is divided into six smaller schools and my school's concentration is Business, Management, and Finance. My students are sophomores and many are from low income homes. Many of the classes have special education students included in the regular classrooms. Students in the tenth grade are required to read at least four novels and they must pass a state administered test in order to receive their high school diploma. The problem--we do not have a classroom library and we are rarely able to read the required novels due to the large number of students. Teachers must share the novels and often, you never get the opportunity to read many of the books because you cannot get the books. There are about 75 novels of a particular title that roughly 500 students have to share throughout the year. Many times, students miss the opportunity to read a moving or required book because it was unavailable. I have read this play in the past and students thoroughly enjoy it. It deals with family and real life issues while it teaches students a valuable lesson. My classroom needs 40 copies of the play "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry. This story is enjoyed and appreciated by the students. It can become a part of my classroom library and will be available to my students at any time during the school year. They will read it and enjoy it. Also, many students use this story as a springboard for many of their compositions. It is an extraordinary book that teaches many lessons to young people. Your donation will enable my students to choose and read a profound book that teaches young people to stand up for their rights and to stay true to themselves. It will provide a classroom library with books of merit. My students will love this book and they will enjoy reading and performing this play.
