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

Do you remember the feeling you had when you first fell in love with reading? This project will help my students experience this feeling as well. Though they are teenagers, many of my students claim, "I don't read." They haven't found a book that has made them want to keep reading. This project will help them develop a love for reading.

My students are currently incarcerated, and this project will allow them to escape to a world where they can learn, grow, and gain confidence in their reading abilities.

They will appreciate your support more than you know. Thank you!

Mrs. Spenny Hamilton County Youth Center Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
