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

Jefferson is a Title 1 school, full of a very diverse community where we love to read. But because of the pandemic, some of our books have been lost and making it difficult to replace . With this generous donation Jefferson Elementary will finally have new books and new material to read making it something very exciting for us all! These books will enhance their knowledge and motivate them pick a new read for the week. I want to give Jefferson the ability have a second change for what was lost in the pandemic.
