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 love our makerspace. They enjoy coming to the library to create and collaborate, see their friends, and make crafts that they like to take with them. However, it has been difficult for us to keep up with the amount of consumable items our students have been using this year.

Our makerspace gives our students a place to be creative and explore new things that may interest them.

These materials will help us keep our students interested in coming to the library and will allow us to encourage them to keep making as many things as they'd like. With this donation, our students will be able to take home whatever items they create.
