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

Our school library is getting a fresh start, but right now many of our shelves are bare. To create a space that draws students in and makes reading exciting, I’m building a special shelf dedicated entirely to French Bulldogs—our library’s fun and friendly theme.

This shelf will feature cuddly Frenchie plushies, engaging decor, and cozy elements that make students feel welcomed and eager to read.

When kids see a space that’s bright, themed, and full of personality, it sends a clear message: reading is fun, and the library is a place made just for them.

With your support, this shelf will bring warmth, creativity, and a love for books into a space that truly needs it.
