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

Imagine a classroom where every child is excited to dive into a new book—where stories spark imagination, characters become friends, and reading isn’t just a task, but a treasured part of the day. That’s the vision I have for my students, and with your support, we can make it a reality. By funding this project, you’re helping fill our classroom library with diverse, engaging, and age-appropriate books that will support my young learners in building essential skills like reading comprehension and fluency. When children have access to books that match their interests and reading levels, they’re more likely to engage deeply and often—improving their ability to understand what they read, read more smoothly, and think critically.

But beyond the academic benefits, your donation helps light the spark that turns reading into a lifelong passion.

At this early and impressionable stage, students are forming their attitudes toward learning and literacy. A well-stocked, inviting library helps make reading fun and magical, opening doors to new worlds and big ideas. With every page they turn, they’re developing not only their minds but also their confidence and curiosity. By supporting this project, you’re giving my students the opportunity to fall in love with reading—and setting them on a path toward academic success that will last a lifetime. Thank you for being a part of their journey.
