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

Last time we got books donated our student's were so happy that they've started to suggest books they want to read. The list has grown so much that I decided to get another book project funded. It makes me so happy that students are excited to read that they are actually requesting books! Our goal has been to get student's excited to read and I want to be able to continue doing that. Please help me get more books for our students! We can never have enough books! Let's teach them the love of reading.
