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

We are a school on the far northeast side of Chicago where 100% of the students receive free lunch. My school is located in a very low-income community. Most of the students come from immigrant families, and are also refugees. Due to the lack of funding, I am not able to provide my students with all the technology and devices a classroom in 2022 deserves. We are trying to improve test scores and prepare for the new Common Core assessments, but we do not have the resources we need. My students are wonderful and work extremely hard. My students are using a new curriculum this year and unfortunately not all the books and materials we need were sent.

My students are missing an important book they need for their book clubs!

I need 15 copies of the great book "They Call Me Guero", for my students to use during their book clubs. I thought I had all the books the curriculum ask for, but it turns out this one is missing! Please help my students access this wonderful book!
