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

Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom book project on DonorsChoose! Your support is helping to bring engaging, diverse, and age-appropriate books into the hands of my students, many of whom don’t have easy access to books at home.

With your help, we're creating a classroom environment that fosters a love of reading, builds literacy skills, and encourages curiosity and imagination.

These new books will allow students to explore different genres, see themselves represented in literature, and open their minds to new ideas and experiences.

Your kindness is making a lasting impact, and I am so grateful to have you as part of our learning journey. Thank you for investing in our students and their futures!
