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 Students

"There's nothing to read!" My students say to me on a constant basis. Most of the books in our library are hand me downs from a teacher that retired. Now we're looking to update our library with interesting books that students will actually want to read.

My 8th grade students are enthusiastic about reading but not all of my students have access to books that they find interesting to read.

My classroom is a place for students to check out books to read during free time in class and to be able to take home.

My Project

The books I'm requesting are popular with the students. I want to have books on hand that I could suggest to my students when they are looking for something to read. By having books that students want to read, their reading skills will improve and open new worlds to them.

By donating to this project, you will help transform their classroom library.

You will help students continue their love of reading by giving them books that they will actually pick up and read.
