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

Our class is filled with fifth graders who are eager to learn daily! While growing up in the inner city has its challenges, our fifth graders push through their adversity as they engage in literacy, and explore science and math. Their desire to become more and surpass their circumstances makes teaching exciting!

As a product of this very district, investing into my students is investing into the community that gave me an opportunity.

These children are just as capable as their counterparts in other districts. They just need the same access to a plethora of resources to help level the playing field.

My Project

Your donations will and are greatly appreciated. Students will be granted access to quality books that will expose them to a variety of topics. We are in the process of growing our library, and would like to add the books on this list!

As my students read they will become excited about their exponential growth as readers!

We want to enhance our classroom library. By donating to this cause you will provide us with books that we are desperatly in need of. We can't wait to receive the new additions to our classroom library! Your support will make a difference in our literary lives!
