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

A month ago our school got a book (token) machine funded via Donor's choose. We are getting ready to receive it and we want to make sure it is full when that happens.

We want to have books to give to our students in pre-k through 5th grade, in English and Spanish, books where they see themselves reflected, books that will help them imagine, books that will make them thrive.

We would love to be able to help grow the love of reading by sparking their interest in the books they will see in the machine.

Thank you so much for considering donating to this project!
