Celebrating 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.
Our students are a diverse group of motivated, hard-working, and passionate learners. Living in an urban neighborhood in Northwest Washington, DC, some of our students find themselves below grade level or struggling to learn English. However, we provide all the resources and support to help these students reach grade level expectations by the end of each school year by teaching them to work through the curriculum at their own pace. At our school, we emphasize that education is a journey and not a competition. Through personal devices for all students in grades 3-8, free breakfast, lunch, and snack every day, an extended school day, and also time for mentorship and intervention, our students are equipped with the power to overcome any challenges and reach any and all of their personal goals.
My Project
As a school filled with many students new to the country, we lack the amount of books in the Spanish language. Please help us build our school library!
We want our library to be diverse and interesting so all students can related and find an interest in reading!
With these books, students can find a book at their level, in their area of interest, and even in their language if they are new to the country!
Our students are passionate about reading and read every chance they get! Please help us keep them engaged and excited to read. These books will be cherished!
