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

I am a Special Education Teacher who teaches struggling readers and writers in a low-income charter school. I have been using my own money to build a small “library” in my classroom to buy my students books they are interested in. They have fallen IN LOVE with these books, but it has gotten quite expensive, and I cannot afford to keep it going on my own. Therefore, I am asking for donations to further build our little library. Thank you so much for considering our donation page!
