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 come from mostly low socioeconomic backgrounds. The majority of them have very few books at home. We have been blessed to receive a book vending machine for the students to be excited to read and get free books for their home libraries.

We need books to fill the book vending machine so that students can use it throughout the year.

Our goal is for each student to receive a book from the machine.

Your donation will lead to lots of smiles and help our students become forever readers.

Mrs. Ray
Grades 3-5
