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

Starting as a teacher, it was incredibly important to me to have a classroom full of amazing books for my kiddos. Now, our school is on a mission to give that magic to kiddos at home.

We want to continue to reward the kiddos with interesting, fact filled, and magical books to take home and treasure for a lifetime.

When the students earn these books at their Level Up celebrations, there are tears, squeals, and pure joy. It is truly unbelievable to see the excitement they have over books. We are growing lifelong lovers of literacy, and we appreciate all the help. Thank you!
