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.

My Project

As we continue our mission to promote civil rights and social justice, we are reaching out to you for your vital support. By investing in the purchase of texts centered around these critical topics, you have the power to facilitate education, dialogue, and activism in our communities.

Your contribution will enable us to acquire a diverse range of materials, including books, articles, and educational resources, that shed light on the historical struggles and contemporary challenges facing marginalized groups.

These texts serve as tools for empowerment, fostering empathy, understanding, and actionable change.

Ms. Turner
Grades 3-5
