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

We envision a cozy corner in our classroom filled with not just books, but worlds waiting to be explored. However, our current library is severely outdated, and our seating is anything but inviting. This is where we need your generous support.

New Books: Our students are eager to explore diverse genres.

We aim to refresh our shelves with titles that resonate with today's 7th graders, fostering a love for reading that will support their academic growth and personal development.

Fun Chairs: Comfort is key to concentration and enjoyment. We seek to purchase several fun and ergonomic chairs that not only provide physical comfort but also add a splash of color and joy to our reading nook. Imagine bean bags, cozy lounge chairs, or even floor cushions that invite students to settle in and embark on their literary adventures.
