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

The Sports Fiction section in our library is the smallest, and we'd love to expand it for our athletes who are always asking for more! These books are high-interest, popular books that I know our students will eat up. This is a list of incredibly engaging books of mostly fiction that will entice our athletes who are always on the hunt for more books about sports (very specifically soccer!). They've read all the books in our small section and our student athletes deserve books about problems and characters that peak their interests!
