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 elementary students are curious, enthusiastic, and full of potential, but many of them lack access to the kind of exciting, high-interest books that truly ignite a love for reading. I’m seeking donations to help refresh our school library with new titles that appeal to a wide range of reading levels and interests.

Your support will help struggling readers find books that draw them in and inspire confidence, while also challenging advanced readers with material that keeps them engaged.

These books will do more than entertain students. They will build vocabulary, strengthen comprehension, and spark lifelong reading habits.

Our students never stop trying, and with the right resources, they will thrive. Every book we add to our shelves brings us one step closer to a community of passionate, empowered young readers.
