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

The purpose of this project is to provide a good library to students and the for their intellectual nourishment and growth. We hope that this initiative will bring a core change in our area as far as intellectual development in the subjects of science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

Books will include activities for completion in the classroom as well as at home.

STEAM books enrich a child's understanding of their everyday environment, regardless of their gender, race, or income, and inspire the next generation of innovators. Please consider our project!
