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

My 7th-grade students have a deep love for manga books, and I would love to provide them with new titles in this genre. Manga is a very popular genre among 7th graders this year and they keep asking me for more manga selections for our classroom library!

Manga books have proven to be highly engaging, capturing the interest and imagination of our students.

By helping us get new manga books, you will not only make our students ecstatic but also contribute to their development as readers, helping them establish good reading habits and enhancing their overall literacy skills. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on their educational journey. Thank you for supporting our book project and helping us inspire a love for reading among our 7th-grade students.
