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

We're asking for your support to provide "Freak the Mighty" for our sixth-grade classroom. This book is more than just a novel; it's a gateway to a world of learning and growth. Through literature, we aim to nurture a lifelong love for reading among our students.

"Freak the Mighty" isn't just a story; it's a catalyst for social and emotional development.

Through its themes of friendship, courage, and resilience, students are encouraged to empathize with others and explore their own identities. In a time where depression rates are high and stress levels are soaring, this novel can be a source of comfort and strength.

Your donation will directly impact our students' academic, social, and emotional well-being. It will provide them with access to a book that has the power to shape their perspectives and instill a passion for reading. Your generosity will remind our students that they're supported and valued, especially during these challenging times.

No matter the size, your contribution will make a difference. Together, we can empower our students to overcome obstacles and embrace diversity. Thank you for considering our proposal and for your willingness to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.
