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

Our school is multicultural and diverse in every way. Many of our students speak more than one language and are proud of their heritage. We are raising global citizens who are empathetic and interested in others, and they need current books to widen their understanding.

These books will fill the shelves of our library, for all students of all grade levels to read.

We believe it is important for students to have a window into the world, and these books will also serve as a door for them to explore what life is like for others.
