Building Bilingual Futures: Supporting Early Literacy!

Help me give my students age-appropriate Spanish books to introduce them to different cultures.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Quezada Salazar's classroom raised $244

This project is fully funded

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

Help me create a rich learning environment where all students can thrive. Our current collection of Spanish books is very limited. These books will help support language development and will help introduce my students to different cultures.

Your contribution will make a significant impact to our classroom.

Please consider in helping build a bilingual library that will benefit our preschoolers. Your generosity will not only enhance our classroom but also empower the next generation of learners.

We plan to incorporate these Spanish books into our reading center where students will be able to explore literature.
