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 has been fortunate enough to receive three amazing book vending machines! I would love to be able to fill them up with an assortment of engaging, fun, quality books.

Can you imagine being able to put a gold coin into a vending machine and out pops your favorite book to keep forever and ever?

I would have loved this as a child in elementary school. I just love the feel, smell, and excitement of having your own brand new book to read and experience over and over again.

I strive every day to instill a love and excitement for reading in our students.

We are so blessed and fortunate to have received these amazing vending machines, but now we need lots and lots of books to fill our vending machines that will interest, excite, and allow our wonderful students to explore the world! Students will earn tokens by participating in our school-wide reward program. They will use these gold tokens to choose books that they will get to keep, cherish, and love!

These book collections I am requesting would mean so much to our students and would open up a world of excitement, exploration, and joy! My students and I truly appreciate your consideration and support!
