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

Unfortunately, all of the books in our school library were destroyed in a flood. As a result, my students have been relying on my limited classroom library for their independent reading. This project allows me to expand my library to meet the needs of the diverse reading interests of my students.

My students get excited whenever new books are made available to them.

These books will continue to fuel their excitement and encourage their love of reading. The other requested items will replenish our classroom needs. Please support this project and help me supply my students with books for independent reading and replenish needed classroom supplies.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
