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

Help me continue to grow the school's library collection. Since our grand reopening in October, students have requested new books. With no budget to work with, I am asking for the support of donors to make these requests a reality.

My goal for this project is to keep encouraging students to read for at least 10 minutes a day.

This can help students develop their reading habits and improve their literacy skills. Having a diverse collection of books available makes it easier for students to find a title of interest. The requested picture books, early readers, and novels will allow students of all reading levels a chance to discover a book of interest. If they are interested in a book, then that means less screen time!
