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

I am seeking your support to help us build a classroom library that will provide bilingual access to classical literature.

Our goal is to curate a diverse collection of stories from renowned authors such as Roald Dahl, E.B.

White, and many others. By offering these beloved tales in both English and Spanish, we aim to engage all students, regardless of their primary language, and create an inclusive environment that celebrates literacy in multiple languages.

Reading is not just an essential skill; it is a gateway to imagination, creativity, and critical thinking. By enriching our library with these timeless stories, we hope to ignite a passion for reading in our students and encourage them to explore new worlds and ideas. Our vision is to create a space where students can discover the joy of reading for fun, explore their interests, and develop a deeper appreciation for literature. Your contribution will impact our students' reading experiences and help us cultivate their love for books.
