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

Reading is crucial to students' development, but many of our current books are outdated and no longer capture the students' interest. In order to foster a love of reading and encourage learning, we are in need of new, engaging books that will spark curiosity and inspire imagination.

By donating to our classroom library, you can help ensure our students have access to fresh, exciting reading materials that will not only improve their literacy skills but also broaden their horizons.

Your generosity will make a world of difference in helping them discover the joy of reading.

We would greatly appreciate any contribution you can make, whether it's a monetary donation or suggestions for books that would best suit our students’ needs. Thank you for your consideration, and for your continued support of our students' education.
