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

Every year books are nominated for the California Young Reader Medal . . . picture books, chapter books, and picture books for older students! Students throughout California read the books and then vote for the winner in each category.

Let's bring these nominated books into our school's library so our students can read and vote for the winning CYRM books!

We will be participating in the Primary, Picture Book for Older Readers, Intermediate and Middle School/Junior High categories. We have several of the books on the nomination list already but need to get the rest!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
