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

Our students are always looking for fun books. Now that our students have started reading more, they hear about some great titles that we unfortunately do not have in our system.

Please help our students have the chance to experience more recent Latino-inspired books.

While we do have the classics, we are constantly looking for books that have been published in the last few years that can really make an impact on our students. Please help us do this so that our students can enjoy reading great books at home. This will help improve their literacy skills!
