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

I'm raising funds to create a cozy library for organization and reading centers for a unique and motivated group of students who are eager to learn. We're looking to purchase floor seats, drawer organizers, and book organizers to keep our space comfortable and organized. Additionally, we'll be getting Orton-Gillingham (OG) method books to support those who struggle with reading. These resources will support our classroom in an inviting, well-organized space where these exceptional students can nurture their love for reading and achieve their full potential. Your support will make a tremendous impact on their learning journey!
