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 classroom library is the heart of our learning environment. It's where curiosity blooms, where imaginations take flight, and where students build a lifelong love of reading. But right now, our library is in need of an upgrade. Our current shelves are overstuffed and hard for students to browse. We also lack enough comfortable seating that encourages students to settle in with a good book.

With your help, we can transform our library into a cozy, functional space by adding new storage center to display our books in an inviting, accessible way—and soft cushions that give students a comfortable place to read.

These additions will not only improve organization, but also make reading time more enjoyable and special for every child.

A well-organized, welcoming library can spark a love of reading that lasts a lifetime. Your support will help us create that magic in our classroom.
