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

It has always been my goal to reach every single student with authors, and genres, they may have never been exposed to. My passion for reading has helped increase their interest in exploring the written word. Help me continue to build a high school library where every student - past, present, and future - can explore a variety of authors and FIND the novels they love and expand their love for reading. Not every student is able to purchase books and my goal is to offer Literature to EVERYONE!

Help me fulfill my goal.
