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
We believe in the power of reading to spark curiosity and imagination in young minds. Our goal is to expand our classroom library with books that are fun and engaging, capturing our students' interest and encouraging them to read more.
Our kindergarten students come from diverse backgrounds and face various challenges.
Despite these obstacles, they are eager to learn and grow. By offering them books that are both entertaining and educational, we can capture their interest and encourage them to read more, improving their literacy skills.
We are seeking donations to purchase a variety of books that are age-appropriate and engaging for young readers. These books will be carefully selected to ensure they are fun and captivating, helping to foster a love for reading in our students.
By supporting this project, you will help us provide our students with the tools they need to become avid readers. Your contribution will make a lasting impact on their education and personal development, fostering a positive and enriching learning environment.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
