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

My school is a high school serving students in grades 9-12. We are in an urban neighborhood. Many of our students immigrated from another country or are the children of immigrants. Many of my students will be the first in their families to graduate from high school.

Many of my students are college-bound, hard-working, highly motivated, and dream of success!

They are awesome! Most are from lower socioeconomic status but have the endurance to make it to 12th grade and most aim to go to college and get a degree. They dream of becoming everything from doctors to teachers to lawyers and entrepreneurs. I am the proud teacher librarian at my school.

The arts and crafts supplies I've requested are for use during our weekly club meeting in the library. The reason I have arts and crafts in the library is to draw students to the library, and it works! We have a small but steadily growing group of kids who enjoy coming every week to work on something creative. And creative they are! I am so blown away at what they make... their creativity knows no bounds! The more kids I can get into the library so they can see it's a welcoming place, the better! Our circulation is going up and part of the reason is because we host arts and crafts. So by supporting our project, you will help students flex their creative muscles, but also help to increase circulation and literacy in our school! Thank you in advance!
