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

My students are amazing kids with limited resources, and so many of them do not have access to books at home. I want to make sure my students can have the opportunity to read and experience new books that they love. Graphic novels and books in their native language are some of the best ways I’ve found to help build a lifetime love for learning and reading. Please help me expand our little school library so that we can offer a little something for everyone! I truly appreciate your help and support!
