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

Dear generous donors,

I’m reaching out to ask for your help in building a vibrant and exciting classroom library for my 1st grade students!

New books will open up a world of adventure, imagination, and learning for my young readers.

Whether it's colorful picture books, early chapter books, or stories that spark curiosity, your donation will provide my students with the opportunity to explore new worlds and develop a lifelong love of reading.

Every book you contribute will make a difference in their educational journey. Thank you for considering a donation to help us grow our library and inspire the next generation of readers!
