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

New library furniture will transform my classroom into a welcoming, comfortable space where my low-income students can thrive. Many of my students lack access to safe, quiet spaces to read and learn outside of school. With new chairs, tables, and bookshelves, they’ll have a cozy environment that encourages them to engage with books and foster a love of reading. By creating an inviting space, we’ll help students build essential literacy skills, boost their confidence, and ignite their imaginations—empowering them to succeed academically and beyond. Your support can make this dream a reality!

Ms. Steiner PS 18 John G Whittier Grades PreK-2
