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

I’m writing to ask for your support in helping us create a more enriching and resourceful learning environment for our middle school English Language Arts (ELA) students. As an inner-city school, many of our students don’t have access to books or other educational materials outside of the classroom, making the resources within our school all the more critical to their success.

Access to books in the classroom can spark a love for reading, open doors to new knowledge, and improve literacy skills—benefits that go far beyond just academic performance.

With your donation, we hope to provide our students with a well-stocked classroom library that they can explore freely, giving them the opportunity to read more widely and take books home when they don't have access to them otherwise. Our goal is also to build learning stations where students can rotate between activities that target different reading and writing skills, helping them develop more confidence and proficiency in language arts.

Your contribution will make a significant difference in the quality of education we can offer. We believe that by giving our students access to these essential resources, we can encourage their growth not only as readers but as critical thinkers, preparing them for a brighter future.

Thank you for considering our request and for supporting the next generation of learners. Together, we can help our students build the foundations for lifelong success.
