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

My fifth grade classroom is full of enthusiastic readers who are growing more excited about books every day! With such a diverse group of learners, I have worked hard to create a welcoming and inclusive classroom library with a wide range of reading materials that reflect their interests and identities. As I move to a new classroom next year, I’ve encountered an unexpected challenge... my current bookshelves cannot come with me, as they are built into the classroom I have now. Without them, my students will lose easy access to the very books that have fueled their love of reading.

I’m seeking support to help create a new, accessible space for our classroom library!

Your donation would go directly toward bookshelves that allow students to browse and explore books with ease! With your help, I can continue fostering a love of reading and ensure every child can see themselves represented in our classroom library.

Thank you for considering a gift that will make a lasting impact on young readers.
