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 Students

Many of my students come from single parent homes, some have been homeless, yet this does not stop them from possessing a strong desire to learn. Our school is a Title 1 school with 96% of students on free or reduced lunch, yet you would never know this from the attitude and strong spirt of the students.

We are a college-bound environment, all students are working towards the goal of going to college with support and help from all staff.

My Project

My students need a library that has high quality books, books that not only are of high interest but also books that are essential to their development as students. Reading is the foundation of a solid education. Unfortunately many of my students don't have access to books at home.

These wonderful books will inspire and empower my students to learn.

In our school, reading is a skill that is stressed and it is understood by our students that a good reader is a life long learner. My students will be so inspired by these books and it will bring the subjects to life.
