Help me give my students a chance to read newly published books to help update our library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Eckert's classroom raised $388

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

Books open doors to new ideas, cultures, and experiences. They help students develop critical thinking skills, spark their imagination, and foster a lifelong love for reading. In a world where digital distractions abound, having a vibrant collection of diverse and engaging books is essential for our students’ growth.

Help update the books in our school library!

Kids are more likely to pick up a book when they see themselves and their interests reflected in it. My goal is to bring more popular and relevant books into the hands of our students to help foster a love of reading.
