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

This modest class set of graphic novels will provide an invaluable tool bridging the gap between middle school students love of graphic novels and comics with the classic literature they will be discovering as they move on to high school.

Students love to read manga, comics, and graphic novels.

I always see students blown away and deeply engaged when encountering graphic novels of literature they have not yet discovered.

Help fund this project to help students on their literacy journey to become life-long readers. Thank you for your support and your donation!
