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're committed to nurturing a passion for reading that opens doors to lifelong learning. Our school serves a community where all students are low-income, receive free lunches, and face financial challenges. Our classroom library stands as a gateway to empowerment, but it's time to enhance it for our deserving students. We're reaching out for your generous support to acquire new books in our classroom library.

The books we're requesting will spark a love for reading, enhance literacy skills, promote critical thinking, and foster inclusivity among our students.

Our goals are to provide diverse reading choices, engage students in reading, boost academic achievement, and build a strong classroom community. Our diverse and resilient students bring unique perspectives and enthusiasm for learning, making them exceptional contributors to our classroom community.Your support will empower these special students to thrive in their educational journey. Thank you for your generosity!
