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

Hi! I am a kindergarten teacher in central Las Vegas. My class loves learning and is very excited to know how to read.

Books bags are a great way to get students excited about reading!

With your support, we can provide each student with their own book bag, filled with a carefully curated selection of books tailored to their interests and reading levels. These book bags will not only encourage a love for reading but also foster critical thinking, creativity, and curiosity among our students.

By donating to our project, you'll be directly contributing to the educational growth and development of our students. Your generosity will ensure that every child has access to high-quality reading materials, regardless of their background or circumstances.
