Celebrating 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.
Our students come from diverse backgrounds with unique needs. We are a Title 1 school where more than 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. As a Blue Ribbon of Excellence school, we strive to provide educational resources and equitable opportunities for students to learn and grow. We make efforts to collect and review student data to analyze needs and design instruction around them. This year we are focusing on reading improvement.
Our students deserve to have a friendly and inviting library that allows them to have passion to learn by reading.
As a pre-k to 5th grade school, we try to ensure that all ages have appropriate materials and resources to meet their needs and engage in academic learning. However, our district budget for additional funds constraints us to the minimum allowable resources.
My Project
As a school wide project, we hope to update our library. Our library was built in 1951 and it is not student friendly. The bookshelves, decor, and furniture is outdated and inappropriate sizing for student use, especially our younger pre-school through second graders. We hope that by adding lower level tables and colorful chairs, it will make it inviting and more accessible to use.
Our students deserve to call their library a place of their own.
The back of our library is currently being used as storage of materials with no space to put them. It is unaccessible for students. With the addition of bookshelves and storage bins, we can make it more organized. Once the back area is organized, we can use the space to create a listening center where students can go and enjoy flexible seating and listen to their favorite books with their peers. By adding age appropriate posters and decorations, students will feel excited to enter the library and stay to learn.
This project will affect every student in the school, not just one classroom. Your donation will impact the school’s climate and overall student attitude for reading and learning. The materials will be used for years to come.
