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

As a middle school teacher who strives for a classical education, I’m working to build a rich and inspiring classroom library that reflects the values of wisdom, virtue, and lifelong learning. My students are eager readers who deserve access to high-quality literature—from timeless classics like The Odyssey and Little Women to engaging moral tales, historical fiction, and thought-provoking modern works. A strong classroom library will support their intellectual growth, spark meaningful conversations, and help them fall in love with reading. Your support will provide these students with the resources they need to explore great ideas and become confident, thoughtful learners.

Thank you so much for considering a donation to this project.

Your generosity will have a lasting impact on my students' education and inspire their love for learning for years to come!
