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 project aims to enrich the reading experience for 8th grade students by expanding our classroom library with engaging and inclusive books. These books will be used for independent reading at the beginning of class and for homework.

These books will provide students with choice and autonomy to ignite a love for reading.

Many students in our district face limited access to quality texts, which can hinder their enthusiasm for reading. By encouraging donors to contribute to our book fund, we seek to provide a diverse selection of books that reflect varied cultures, experiences, and genres.

This initiative will ignite a passion for reading among students, helping them develop a lifelong love for literature and improving their academic growth.
